Starting point is 00:00:00 Did you lock the front door? Check. Close the garage door? Yep. Installed window sensors, smoke sensors, and HD cameras with night vision? No. And you set up credit card transaction alerts, a secure VPN for a private connection,
Starting point is 00:00:14 and continuous monitoring for our personal info on the dark web? Uh, I'm looking into it. Stress less about security. Choose security solutions from TELUS for peace of mind at home and online. Visit TELUS.com slash Total Security to learn more. Conditions apply. Did you ever think you would make it? I still am supposed to take sweetly.
Starting point is 00:00:37 I know this life meant for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever sized. Right here. You are a 101? My son's right there. I think I've ever said this before.
Starting point is 00:00:55 All right, folks. It's great to be with you. I've got a simple question for you. Have you canceled? your Netflix subscription yet. Rob, can you start with that poll? Have you actually canceled your Netflix subscription? I'm curious because this one guy with 220 million followers
Starting point is 00:01:12 on this app called X told everybody to cancel it. And yesterday, his network crossed a half a trillion dollars. I said two years ago, two and a half years ago, it's going to be the first trillionaire in the next 24 to 36 months. Some number like that. Now they're saying he's going to be a trillionaire in 2026. Wow. And it looks that's going to be happening.
Starting point is 00:01:30 They think he's going to double his net worth in the next 12. The way he's building equity. He's been in companies. That's what happens when you're building companies. Mike Johnson, caught on camera, admitting Trump is unwell. But Mike Johnson, there's two other stories about Mike Johnson. One guy went after him, baby grind with me type of a thing. And then another story of Mike Johnson, a clip that I absolutely love.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Rob. I hope you have found that. It's such a great. clip of Mike Johnson. You know he's in the middle of things when he's getting people claiming some stuff about him, where he's giving Hakeem Jeffries advice about his mental health. You know what he told Hakeem Jeffries? Why are you looking at what the president is tweeting?
Starting point is 00:02:14 It's the internet. He's trolling you. He's telling Hakeem Jeffries to not allow his boss to troll him. I mean, that's like a double troll that's a cancellation of a troll, a level of maturity. but maybe there's some kind of a sense of humor there. You just got to see it. It's funny. I think it's funny.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I think it's really funny. Then he got Google who's blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia. That's not good because it's going back the other way. Tom is probably right about what he's saying here. Back to back highs, guys. You ready? All that stuff people feared about tariffs.

No, Tom, we're going to continue. When Tom takes about a skit, you know that thing about the car tells do quarterly earnings reports. Let's do a skit.
Starting point is 00:03:44 You know what's going viral. You know what's good I'd like to see you do. I would like to do a skit with Tom with a general contractor and a foreman. Okay. Do I have to dress up like a girl? And then we'll have somebody here. And then we say, you do two situations, what happened? He goes in the room with her or he doesn't. Which one happened?
Starting point is 00:04:02 Yeah. It's kind of like a question for everybody. Hey, baby, want to nail my two by four? I got to go, guys. Taiwan rejects, get Brandon in here.

And if we get more and more people saying come, and if we really get a committed crowd, we're going to go do a podcast. Let me tell you, if we do that, it would be explosive. Yeah, literally. Oh, is that? Too soon.

Having said that, the pitcher of the Yankees yesterday pitched a 12 strike. You know he hasn't pitched a 12 strikeout, not in a minor league this is the first time he does it.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Lights out, great stuff. But here's what we like to see. For some of you guys that are Dodger fans, you're from L.A. and you're on Tom's side. we got the Dodger blue future looks bright hand. Look at this. Look at the timing of it. What a sick hat that is. By the way, whether you're a Dodgers fan or not, that is legit,

Now, Tom was upset because Tom said people in L.A. are sleeping. and Pat, Yankees fans are up. Yeah, we are. But listen, California is

Folks, if you're searching it, you could put Navy hat, it'll come up. And what's the other hats title if somebody is searching it so they want to find it? It's Royal. Royal hat.

Some of you guys may be watching as your pirates.

With that being said, let's talk about canceling Netflix. All right. So, you know, very interesting.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Like the moment you think this woke stuff is gone and parents eventually made a point to folks to say, can you just stop it? Can you stop it with all this stuff with kids? No. Netflix is like, we're going to double down. Now, Netflix didn't watch what happened to Disney. Netflix didn't sit there and say, oh, my God, look at all the mess Disney see going through. Netflix didn't pay attention to the fact that, you know, the Disney stock went from $38 billion market cap, give or take, to half that. They weren't paying attention to it.
Starting point is 00:12:03 And then all of a sudden, they're like, no, we're going to continue going with this. So, Rob, which one do you want to go with? What can we play to react to? Because some of this stuff is in the show, so I don't know if we can show more. not. Can we show pictures? Yeah, I have tweets from Elon Musk as well as the Netflix stock. So, why don't we do this? So here's cancel Netflix from Elon Musk. Lips of TikTok tweets this just a couple of days ago. It says, holy shit. Show on Netflix, the babysitter club pushes transgenderism on kids. Shames characters for misgendering and demands hospital staff refer to and treat a boy as a
Starting point is 00:12:41 girl insanity this is one okay next one rob if you want to go to the other one did you bother did see i don't know if you saw the video is disgusting it's out could you narrate maybe what happened she's coming in there and there and the kids going through i don't know transition or whatever and the doctor and the nurse misgender the girl that's laying there or boy or whatever so the friend goes can i talk to you guys outside goes outside and has to correct the doctor and the nurse that she is a he and He's, it's like, bro, what? And by the, parents, guys, you guys have no idea. When parents just go, honey, go watch Netflix and they give them remote and they leave,
Starting point is 00:13:18 you have no idea the subliminal little messages. You don't think kids are looking at this going, huh, what is that? And they mimic it. They go home and they mimic it. And that's a form of indoctrination. Yeah, and I know you want to, I don't know if we can shorten it. I said Rob, I actually screenshot and recorded. Let's just play.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Let's just play. We can play the audio for the audience and for the video for you guys and not show the video that we don't get fly. So Rob, go back. Oh, yeah, go ahead, Rob. Go ahead. Yeah. It took a while, but we finally found a file for a Bailey Del Vecchio.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Is 32 Burnhill Road still the current address? Yeah. Have you been getting him fluids? If he's dehydrated, we'll be tested. He, and by the way, it's... It's... I don't know. I hear some as I feeling well.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Doctor comes in. The friend is looking. They're both a little visually upset. And now the friend... Can I please talk to you two outside? A 12-year-old has to talk to a doctor and a nurse about biology. Ready? Look, now she's addressing that.
Starting point is 00:14:14 I know that you guys are busy, but as you would see, if you looked at her and not her chart, Bailey is not a boy. What the hell is going up? Bailey is not positive. Pause. Okay. Now, disgusting. Oh, my God. Disgusting. There you have that there.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Now, is this a, and it's called, what, Babysitters Club? Now, watch the next one, Rob. What's the other one that they have? Is this another one? Yes, this is another cartoon that's on Netflix, I believe the name of this show is a dead and paranormal park. It's a show that's geared for seven-year-olds, and we'll play the audio again. Go ahead. It's not the park.
Starting point is 00:14:54 It's me. I'm trans, normal. Great. And everyone at school knows, and everyone at home knows. And being here, it's like a whole new place. I'm good. What's the other one? There's another one as well that the two girls are kissing each other,
Starting point is 00:15:08 the cartoon. I don't know if you have that one or not. I sent him about a montage video, Pat, just where I screen record. Anyways, there's a bunch of them. So here's the point. So that happens. Here's what happens on Netflix's stock. Can we look at what happened on Netflix's stock? Yes, please. So Netflix's stock drops. How much does it drop, Tom? Was it a dramatic drop or not
Starting point is 00:15:24 really? Not really. And Rob, I sent you a link for a full year look at it. So don't cry for Netflix. The stock is not that far down. What we need is, but if this boycott goes heavier, I sent you the link this morning and just click on it and then click on year to date it's ready to go but you'll see pat
Starting point is 00:15:44 that they've actually been on a role over the last year Netflix has been on a bit of a role now click with one day click on year to date little blue box right there yep you're to date stock is up so it's a bear it's not even a nothing happens it's down a little tiny bit but they're look at they're at half a trillion they're at they're at 500 look down I think the market cap is approaching 500 billion dollars. Just scroll down on the page a little bit. Yeah, $493. Market cap is $493. Now go back up and take a look. And there's the bounce out of COVID. Pat drops down. But since then, they're on a tear. You're absolutely right. Yeah. Yeah. There's a bit of minor, minor blip downward. This is why I asked the question. The question I
Starting point is 00:16:31 asked is, how many people you think actually canceled Netflix? Actually canceled their membership? What do you think the number is? Do you think it's a real number? I think it's a million? You think so? No, no, no, no. You don't think a million people out of 350 million Americans can't? How many total subscribers of Netflix have? The last number I remember is was 185 million, 190 million, maybe higher today. That was a few years ago when we did something. It's probably got to be in a 205 to 210 million today. Let's see what the number is. 300 million. Okay. So they've killed. There are 300 million paid subscribers globally. Do you think they lost 100,000? Do you see? Do you think they lost a half a million?
Starting point is 00:17:08 And they're not worried about it. Take a look at that note. Their CFO said that they will no longer identify the specific subscriber numbers in quarterly reports. They will only talk about revenue in EBITA. Why is that? Well, because the subscriber numbers can jump up and down a lot, and they've got a variety of tiers. So a subscriber is not a subscriber. And they're saying, it's my job to make revenue go up quarter to quarter.
Starting point is 00:17:30 And I'm not going to talk about subscribers. So a boycott like this, unless it really hit revenue, they're not going to disclose this. Netflix charge per month these days. Netflix? I think it was like 15 or 20. I think it went up. No, no, no, no, no. And mind you, you know, what was that thing that Humberto said?
Starting point is 00:17:46 You remember the show cuties that was on there? Rob, can you remember the show cuties? Can you find the show cuties? The one that we've all had still exists? Young girls, I don't know, but Charlie Kirk, and I sent Rob, Charlie Kirk posted September 11, 2020. This is your daily reminder that Susan Rice sits on the board of Netflix and the Obama's received tens of millions of dollars.
Starting point is 00:18:07 from Netflix. They should be forced to answer for being part of a pedophile streaming platform. That's it right there. That's an actual tweet from Charlie. Dude, is that crazy? September 11th, 2020. Is that wild, Pat? That's nuts.
Starting point is 00:18:21 The day before. That is nuts. Did you cancel your Netflix? No, we did not. You did not. Why not? Well, because first of all, we don't follow this closely. Our kids, we believe it or not, in our family, we're not a Netflix family.
Starting point is 00:18:34 What are you? We're not. Our kids, Brooklyn watches Pink Panther from the 60s because he's got a grandpa that's 83 years old that all he wants to show her is Pink Panther from the 60s. You should see like the old school, what do you call it? Old school. Tom and Jerry?
Starting point is 00:18:48 No, no, no, old school, not CGI. What do you call it? Cartoons? Animation. Yeah, just a very, like, level of animation that we could probably do here. If we had a weekend, we could learn how to do that type of animation on Udeme.
Starting point is 00:19:02 But that's what she watches. And then we'll watch some... That's good stuff. The old Pink Panther stuff, there's nothing bad in that. Here's the question, though, Tom. Here's a question, though, Tom. So, does this make Netflix boulder? That's the real question.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Does this make Netflix boulder? Because to Disney, they felt it immediately. Rob, can you go show the stock of Disney? Okay? Go Disney stock and go back five years. If you can do a five-year thing, right there, five-year. Okay, watch this. So guess what?
Starting point is 00:19:34 They felt it, all right? They felt it. And they went from what? What was it at the peak, Rob? Can you go at the peak? Was 180, 197. And what's the lowest goal like to right there right before 2024? Look at that.
Starting point is 00:19:47 So more than 50% of any, the company lost $200 billion. Jeez. Give or take. And even today, where's it at right now, Rob, 112? So Disney is 112. Peak was 197. So from five years ago to today, the shares have dropped 85. what's 85 on 197?
Starting point is 00:20:06 What's 85 divided by 197? Vinny, can you do it on your head? 42.68. By the way, as crazy as it is, 43.1. Bam. So you said you're not good at math. You're actually good at math.
Starting point is 00:20:18 You got to carry the one. Got it. So when you think about this, Tom, why did Disney get hit so hard and Netflix puts this transgender stuff on there in kids' faces and they barely feel anything? What's the difference?
Starting point is 00:20:35 Well, I think there's a big difference. Disney owns a lot of the content that people want to see. You take a look at all the stuff that they have, their library. And they also are very, very visible, and they represent something that goes back. Netflix does not have like an old school chapter that everybody remembers for their brand. I mean, think about it. What do you think of Netflix going way back? Shipping
Starting point is 00:21:03 Shipping the DVDs Shipping DVDs When you go back And you think of Disney You think of Wholesome stories You think of The happiest place on earth
Starting point is 00:21:14 Friendly stuff Children based A lot children based Exactly right So when Disney gets out a line So What happened What happened?
Starting point is 00:21:23 Did you hear something? What happened? While on the show Tom bought five Dodger blue hats Did he really? Did you really? How the hell did you do that?
Starting point is 00:21:36 You are so funny. Folks, there's a racist going on. Yankees. Come on, Yankees. Come on, Yankees. You've got the Dodger Blue going against. Go to meetkeepers.com, type in Royal Hat or Navy Hat. It'll come up. Go ahead, Tom, make your point. No, the point is Netflix doesn't have like a white hat, black hat, before and after to look at.
Starting point is 00:21:55 They only have, you know, are you going to boy cut it because you don't like this? Disney had the legacy of the happiest place on Earth, safer families, and all the content was there. And when Disney went crazy woke and went off there, you've got families that have got plush toys, history with Disney, plans to take a vacation and go to Disney World. And when they all go, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 00:22:16 Disney gets hit like on three vectors. I'm not, they get theme parks, merchandise, and movies. Then guess what? Netflix is just like, okay, we have a couple of crazy movies. You don't like it? I'm sorry. Yep. So it's what you're boycotting and what it stands for.
Starting point is 00:22:35 And you know what's crazy, though? I think they don't think they realize when it comes to Musk, his anger isn't coming from nowhere. It's personal. Okay, remember when Jordan Peterson sat with him and he said, my son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus, okay? And then he went, I was tricked into doing this. I lost my son, essentially.
Starting point is 00:22:53 They called it dead naming for a reason. The reason they call it dead naming is because your son is dead. And then later on on social media, he said, he sharpened it more he said my son Xavier died he was killed now the woke mind virus will die okay you they made an enemy of a guy that we just
Starting point is 00:23:09 you just said in the beginning is worth $500 billion and he is on track to be a trillionaire okay that's the choose your enemies wisely Netflix didn't even know that they were choosing this guy it's the worst and they're gonna feel it and the fact that they're pretending all these companies pretend like no
Starting point is 00:23:25 we don't it's just whatever it's not like bother that show one of the what was it paranormal, whatever. It's not even out anymore. But then he was pissed off to. He even called out Transformers. There's a clip of Transformers pushing this trans stuff on the kids. You know what it is? I'm just happy that parents, they're seeing it, they're not
Starting point is 00:23:41 buying it. And it's like simple. Stop sexualizing the children. Stop pushing this garbage. As if they didn't learn their lesson. Like Bud Light wasn't an example. Disney wasn't an example. This is what I'm saying. To me the question is that the boldness. Like look at what Harvard just did. Okay. Harvard hires
Starting point is 00:23:57 like if you're if you're watching this right now what's the next word okay if you the average person watching is you saw what just happened to Harvard what he thinks the next word Harvard hires dot dot dot jeez you ready Harvard hires drag queen named Lahore Vagestan wow as visiting professor for class about sexual dissidents this is this is Lahore Vagestan look at the beauty okay is it Lahore Vagestan okay what a great name Harvard has recently hired a visiting professor in a woman gender and sexuality department whose alter ego is a drag queen who goes by the name Lahore Vagestan. I mean, I keep saying that.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Forgive me, folks. It's just, you're not dead naming. You're calling the person. The department announced in July, it is bringing on Kareem Khubchanadi to teach classes on queer ethnography. He's Persian? And RuPaul, you better work. drag race and desire
Starting point is 00:24:58 Khubchan Adi has an extensive career on drag queen performance and is committed to bring in a nightclub to classroom and vice versa teaching critical race post-colonial
Starting point is 00:25:10 and gender theory through lip sync and lecture I'm an educator scholar and performer invested in feminist queer and trans everyday aesthetics
Starting point is 00:25:24 particularly in South Asia and its diaspora. Khoshanadi, personal website reads, my work is committed to uplifting the creative ways that Minoritarian, is an Armenian last name. Towardian.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Subjects live inside of oppressive structures, especially how we use dance, fashion, and language to build something more beautiful for each other. I'm an associate professor of theater, dance, and performance studies at Tufts University Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:25:56 I also perform as Lahore Vagestan Every Day's favorite Desi track queen auntie. The professor's queer ethnography course will study gender and sexual dissidents such as gay neighborhoods, trans, raves, sex, work, lesbian parties, BDSM Dungeons, AIDS activism, according to Harvard's official course catalog. Tell me that's not on their official book.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Rob, folks, go ahead, play that video because... I don't even want to say. Go ahead, right. He has eyebrows on top of his eye, though. Stop, Rob, stop, Rob, stop. That's crazy. That's tough.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Rob, go to the website. That's a demon. I don't know what... Plain and simple. So, this is where I'm going with this. I have a complete different take on this, which I'll give here in a minute. Tom, how do you process this?
Starting point is 00:26:47 Again, to me, it's... We thought we were done with this insanity stuff. We thought Netflix was going to stop doing things. with kids. We thought Disney was done. We thought Harvard was done. Then an announcement like this happened. Have they learned their lesson yet? Is this going to make a difference? Or are they going to keep playing these games for no reason? Well, I happen to think that this is a mistake. And I think I'd be willing to bet that the Board of Regents, the trustees, the provost, and the President of Harvard that are all negotiating with our government right now. Because our government has said,
Starting point is 00:27:22 we're going to cut, the exact word is, $2.2 billion in research grants because we don't like the way you didn't protect the Jewish students on campus when the Palestinian protests were happened. And it's not that there is a Palestinian activist. It's that they were threatening and they were intimidating and the Jewish students very reasonably feared for their personal safety. It said, number one. Then they had the same issue that Yale had where they had their thumb on the scale
Starting point is 00:27:49 and not letting good students come in, specifically, ones and they were mixing DEI so that, you're a private university. Yeah, you're a private university, MF, but you know something? You're getting money from the United States of America from public people's taxes, $2.2 billion a year in grants. So you can't hide behind, oh, I'm private. I can do admissions any way I want when you're taking public money. Do whatever you want, but stop taking the public money. No more money from the public. Then they came back and they said, listen, we may bar you or just disbar you. So it's not just for freezing the $2.2 billion, Pat.
Starting point is 00:28:25 They want to disbar it. And they have put on the table a financial settlement of $500 billion. Harvard is negotiating at this hour on that $500 million. It was a headline. People thought it was done. It's not. It's being negotiated with the Trump administration and Harvard. So you have all these people in one part of campus and all of a sudden, Pat, they see this,
Starting point is 00:28:45 even though they might say, hey, if we want to offer a class like this and it's ridiculous, we'll offer a class like this. we'll do it. We can do whatever we want. We're a private institution. That's true you are. But what do you think that the trustees and the provost, what if you're one of the trustees? And I don't think you ever would be. But what if you're one of the trustees, provost and the president come in there and you say, how are we doing with the federal government? We've got to get these grants back. Otherwise, you have a budget shortfall here. And they say, hey, did you see this going on over in the School of Sociology? I just looked it up. It's on their website. So if you go here, Harvard.edu, okay? Rob, can you confirm this is their actual website?
Starting point is 00:29:23 Okay? Just click on that. Just click on that right there, yeah. So it's their real website. Okay, now go back to the page you were on, zoom in a little bit on their site. If you click on queer ethnography, okay, place is still available. It's, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:37 You're going to log in and use that as a go. So go to the other one on Rupolitics. Okay. So, you know, you're saying Harvard and the government for me? For me, it's very different. For me, before, that's the problem. because if Harvard's always going to be worried about what the government thinks about giving them money, officially the customer becomes the government, not the families.
Starting point is 00:29:59 That's what I'm saying. Be a private school, but don't take the public money. Do whatever you want. Yeah, so where I'm going with this is, so then their number one priority ought to be parents. Now, their argument may be, look, to all the conservatives out there that have problems with what Netflix and Disney is doing, you guys don't like it because it's under 18. Fine. These are adults.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Let them take the classes. Believe it or not, I actually can understand that argument, okay, that they're making. You understand what I'm saying? Because if we, as conservative,
Starting point is 00:30:30 say, take it out of the, you know, don't put in front of our kids. They don't need to see this, okay? You can put it afterwards. Fine.
Starting point is 00:30:37 You want to put, I can simply sit there and say, you know what, we're going to go to Harvard, but we're not going to take this class. Just don't worry about that class. Right. But maybe you know why they're putting it there.
Starting point is 00:30:46 You know why they're putting it there? Yesterday I was watching something saying, why are so many celebrities kids transgendered? It was showing Magic Johnson, Twain Wade, Megan Fox, Charleston around. Why is that? Phil Morris talked about it. It goes to parties.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Megan Fox. Megan Fox, I think, is 3-4-3, if I'm not mistaken. Get out of here. All three of her kids? I actually think it's, can you check with Megan Fox? How many trans kids does Megan Fox have? Trans kids does Megan Fox have? to go three for three
Starting point is 00:31:18 I mean you're just making it have four children but none of the children are the children they're based on based on misonrograms have been publicly identified we've seen them dressed as the opposite sex
Starting point is 00:31:28 well I mean you're dating machine gun Kelly who was famous for being a dude who dresses so I'm glad you did that three kids and the gardener you see the pictures if you go to it what the kids look like when they're going in the streets boys dressed as I mean
Starting point is 00:31:41 it's not it's not that you're not seeing it but going back to it Maybe what they're doing is They're trying to say We have to find a way to please the folks on the left We have to find a way to please the people on the right And here's what we're going to be doing
Starting point is 00:31:56 So Hollywood's going to be okay We want to send their kids here Okay, you know They're not trying to see their customers as conservatives I actually don't have a problem with that As they're doing this I can choose not to take it To me, I'm more okay with this
Starting point is 00:32:12 Than I am with the stuff that's going on with kids That I have this much tolerance for. If you're an adult, we went to, my kid this summer, now I can say it, he went to Yale for this whatever program, not Yale, it was a program he went to. Very interesting. Trans was out in the open. I was there. One of the guys that starts talking, registration, the way he's talking, we're like, whoa.
Starting point is 00:32:35 And multiple kids he met that were gay and just, you know, openly talking and all this stuff. And we prepped them. I said, this is where you're going. You're going to experience a different thing. type of an environment. We chose to put the kid there, right? Adam, how do you process this yourself? Like, would you as an adult, let's just say going to Florida State University, they offer rule politics, would you take it? At Florida State University, let me tell you
Starting point is 00:33:00 something. I majored in communications and I minored in beer and chicks. This was not a thing that Florida State University or any normal, rational person dealt with growing up. And there's a lot to talk about here. Let me segment this. The Harvard situation, they hired this trans drag show person Lahore Vagistan to what teach this class about
Starting point is 00:33:22 transgenderism Vagistan any country that ends with Stan just know that they're probably not a big fan of the gays Pakistan Kazakhstan
Starting point is 00:33:33 very nice I have no idea Durkistan there you go so the gays for Gaza thing everybody understand it's a complete sham because anyone who's gay
Starting point is 00:33:41 would not be allowed in any country that ends with Stan or any Muslim country for that matter ironically enough and it's a little too much for me Tel Aviv is like the gayest city in the Middle East by far, a little too much but they said that politics is downstream from culture
Starting point is 00:33:54 and this is really where we're at these days if you show that stat about just how gay and gay and gay our country is getting okay that's what's going in and now they say that does art imitate life or does life imitate art what I would do what Pat I think you would agree with this if you're going to have Lahore Vagestan teach a class you always talk about having
Starting point is 00:34:15 opposing opinions, like two professors, that's what you would do? Well, I have an idea. Harvard, why don't you hire someone like Andrew Tate to teach a class about toxic masculinity and him and Lahore Vagestan can teach his class together and we'll see who has a better idea for the future of our youth. Something will tell me when Andrew Tate sits down next to Lahore Vagestan, Lahore is probably going to run out the door because he's going to dismantle her with actual facts and actual arguments. So this is what's going on there. That's Harvard.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Now, can we talk about Netflix for a second? This is also part of the politics is downstream from culture. When we were growing up, I used to watch shows like Saved by the Bell, which taught you how to talk to chicks like Kelly Kapowski. Exactly. When you wake up in the morning and you feel that whole deal. And there was other shows in Living Color. But there was another show that I used to watch growing up.
Starting point is 00:35:09 It was called Pepe Lepeot. You remember this dude? He was a freaking... This dude right here was... Some may say he was a ladies man, Don Juan de Marco. Other may say he was a living, breathing, sexual assaulter in real life. He was a predator. But this may have been sort of the reason the Me Too movement sort of existed.
Starting point is 00:35:26 All right, let me tell you, lady, I'm going to take you out. Bapapap, Papa, Pap, Papa, you got canceled during the Me Too movement. But I would tell you... There was a French skunk, which was a complete... There was underlying messages there. and sexual assaulters. Please, Tom, you're better than that. Pepe Lepew, what a
Starting point is 00:35:46 sicko. However, he did teach boys a lot of lessons. I'd approach women. Flip it. Now you have these shows, which is encouraging kids to become transgender. And you have a 12-year-old lecturing doctors in that once you...
Starting point is 00:36:02 Listen, doctors, I know you're looking at charts and graphs and biology. But Scotty's actually a woman. So let's please use they-them pronouns while she's sick with cancer because that's really what the kids worried about right there. To say that we're living in an upside-down world would be an understatement. But equilibrium is what we're getting to.
Starting point is 00:36:23 My assumption is over the next few years, like you said, Pat, transgenderism is going to be canceled, just like the Me Too movement got canceled. I just think it's too much, man. I think it's too much. But if a college wants to do it as an adult, you can do it. However, we as parents can say, screw you, okay? That's simple.
Starting point is 00:36:45 The challenge becomes some parents who are putting their kids in school, who are 12, 13 years old in public school, who can't afford to put them in private school, can't say screw you because they live in that zip code. That's their job. They can't afford to put their kids in a private school that's a couple thousand dollars a month. They're the ones that are screwed,
Starting point is 00:37:02 but the options are not there. So anyways, let's go to the next story here with the government shutdown. Mike Johnson, okay, has a back-end, forth with Stepanapolis, George, and they're going back and forth on the government shutdown. And there's a couple of the clips I want to share with you guys on the government shutdown. Here's one of them. Go ahead, Rob. Facts. Here are the facts. The proposal does not provide health care for illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants cannot buy health care under the Affordable Care Act. They cannot
Starting point is 00:37:30 receive health care subsidies. Illegal immigrants are ineligible for Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Program. The Democratic bill does not make them eligible. It does, actually, because what it does is it unwinds the changes that Republicans put into the big beautiful bill, the big signature legislation that we passed and signed in the law on July 4th. That has been very successful in ensuring up Medicaid for the people who are actually eligible to receive it. What we did in the bill, and the CBO just verified this three weeks ago, the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan arbiters of everything up here, they said that those provisions have helped to reduce premiums.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Why? Why? Because we got ineligible recipients off of Medicaid, illegal aliens, and able-bodied young men who are riding the wagon who are not eligible to be there. Medicaid is intended for specific populations of U.S. citizens. That is young, pregnant women who are down on their luck, the disabled, and the elderly. Those resources are being drained from those folks, and so we fixed that. We reduced fraud, waste, and abuse in the program. Chuck Schumer's counterproposal on the CR would reverse that.
Starting point is 00:38:34 That is a simple fact. The CBO did not say that about illegal immigrants. You've made your point right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's such a show. Who? Didn't George, how much money did he just have to pay? A lot of money?
Starting point is 00:38:45 Didn't he pay millions of dollars because of your... They just can't get out of their way. I'm sorry. Tom, your thoughts on this. George, step on all of us is really wrong. You know, this is annoying. When news commentators become lobbyists, something's really wrong.
Starting point is 00:39:02 George is mischaracterizing what was in there. The Big Beautiful Bill. did make changes trying to preserve Medicaid for those people that need it. We lived in L.A. And L.A., there was a lot of people that needed Medicare, citizens that were there. And then when it was overwhelmed by the illegal aliens that came in, you know what happened in the hospital? We covered this about a year and a half ago on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:39:24 The hospital closed because it couldn't afford it. And they pleaded for mercy. They begged for mercy. They wanted more money from the state. The state said, no. And they said, well, then I have to close that emergency. room. So guess what? You had paramedics that would do what they can provide basic, you know, things, but they didn't have drugs, they didn't have x-rays, they didn't have things like this,
Starting point is 00:39:44 and sometimes they didn't were unable to transport people places. This is about protecting the voting block of illegal aliens that are coming to this country. That is all this is about. And in the process, the Democrats, and I hope people are listening, are turning their backs on group that they have been pandering to and working voting blocks for 30, 35 years, and now they're flipping the other way on them and taking resources that were for citizens in certain cities and parts of this country that didn't have it exactly, as Mike Johnson said, and they're shutting it down, and they want to give the resources to make the illegal aliens eligible. Stephanopoulos is not correct, and he's playing games with words on this, but Mike Johnson on this is right. on the continuing resolution, it's not just a continuing resolution, it's continuing revisions. That's what CR stands for, is continuing revisions, not continuing resolution.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Continuing resolution, hey, we agree, Vinny, we're going to get a half a billion dollars a day. We're going to keep the government running on this. You can do that in one paragraph. Instead, the continuing resolution is pages and pages and pages of, if you want my boat, I need this favor. That's what's going on, then. And if you think about it, like, remember how many times have I asked on this podcast? What, what's the Democratic platform?
Starting point is 00:41:06 What are they, what are they about? What are they for? And like time and time again, they're proving it's just illegals. Okay? They love illegals. The moment the Biden administration got in, what did they do, Tommy? Open the border, flooded us with illegals, okay? This government shut down right now is because the Republican Party isn't bowing down
Starting point is 00:41:23 because they want to give Medicaid and all this health care to illegals. Okay, remember when the Maryland man, the MS-13 Maryland man was arrested, illegal they flew to another country congressmen went there to try to talk to bring his ass back here then in colorado you had um tren daragua was taking over apartment complexes what they say no it's not happening you guys are you guys are crazy ISIS out here trying to get all these illegals out
Starting point is 00:41:46 and you have these idiots shooting and killing illegals at the same time okay and it's it's just unbelievable that's all the democratic party stands for is for illegals they don't care about the american people all they want is these freaking votes because they know that you keep incentive these people that bring their asses over here, the 20 million that are here, they're going to keep voting for them.
Starting point is 00:42:05 That's it, Tom. What else are they standing for at this point? And they say, oh, you're lying about this, you're lying about that. Wait a minute. You lied about Russia. You lied about this. You lied about this. And now you lied about those people in Colorado.
Starting point is 00:42:18 By the way, here's the speaker, Johnson, trying to give some advice to Kim Jeffries in and Adam, I'm coming to that afterwards. Go ahead. Many of you asked me this morning about sombreros and memes and why Hakeem Jeffries is all alarmed by that. But look, these are games. These are side shows. People are getting caught up in battles over social media memes.
Starting point is 00:42:37 We've got to keep the, this is not a game. We've got to keep the government open for the people. I don't know why this is so complicated. And to my friend Hakeem, who I was asked about, man, just ignore it. I mean, Gavin Newsom was trolling me last night. He painted me like a minion. He painted me yellow with big glasses and overalls. And I thought it was hilarious.
Starting point is 00:42:54 They're horrible. You don't respond to it. For all my friends, for all my friends, R's and D's, don't respond to it. get to work, do the people's business, and let's get on with it. Thank y'all. By the way, that was a very mature response on what he said, Adam, go ahead. Did you see what Hakeem Jeffrey said to Trump when he's like, oh, you know, you're going to do this racist, these epithets, you know, say it to my face. Say it to me.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Buddy, you think Trump is scared of you? You're going to throw that down? Trump is meeting with Putin, Kim Jong-un. He's trying to solve wars. And he thinks he's scared of the minority leader in the House. I'm not saying, like, actual minority. I'm saying what he is as a minority. But it's, Trump ain't scared to you, dog.
Starting point is 00:43:36 And if this is what you're going to do, go down the rabbit hole, try to fight Trump about a sombrero, you're going to lose this battle. Play that clip if you have that, Rob. And Mr. President, the next time you have something to say about me. Oh, yeah. Think of something tough. Don't think of something tough.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Top out through a racist and fake AI video. When I'm back in the Oval Office, say it to my face. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Maxine Waters. Tell him, Maxine. And I'll play with Trump is. Maxine looks like he's wearing an old mask of herself. Huh?
Starting point is 00:44:12 Did you have the clip of what Trump did? Rob? Yeah, we saw that. We played that on the show that you weren't. Yeah, that you weren't here. Hey, listen, you know, you can't win them all. But so what's going on right now with this, you know, fight over funding.
Starting point is 00:44:28 the government and you know are they throwing things in at the CR continuing resolution we've seen this thing before time we know what happens here but this was reminiscent of what happened in 2018 remember when you sat down with trump and you literally said you know my favorite moment of your presidency mr president was this moment right here when him and chuck and nancy were arguing about the government funding and trump said i will own it do you have that clip rob the last time chuck you shut it no no no and then you open it very quickly and i don't want to do 20 times you have called for, I will shut down the government if I don't get my wool. None of us have said. You want to know something? You've said it. Okay, you want to put that on my
Starting point is 00:45:05 I'll take it. Okay, good. You know what I'll say? Yes. If we don't get what we want, one way or the other, whether it's through you, through a military, through anything you want to call, I will shut down the government. Okay, fair enough. And I am proud, and I'll tell you what, I am proud to shut down the government for border security. Bingo. Because the people of this country don't want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country. So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down.
Starting point is 00:45:35 I'm not going to blame you for it. The last time you shut it down, it didn't work. I will take the mantle of shutting down. And I'm going to shut it down for security. Let me tell you something right now. Revisionist history. Do you understand what type of leadership that was at the time? Because this was still a couple years into his presidency.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Russia collusion. We don't know. Everything's happening. It's racist. The wall. What that fight was over in retrospect, you know, they said Trump was right about everything. Here in retrospect, they were fighting about $5 billion to fund the wall. Now, seven years later, don't you think we'd love to have that wall?
Starting point is 00:46:09 After the 10 million plus illegals have been led in since the Biden administration, don't you think that $5 billion would have been well served? Ironically enough, this was the longest government shutdown in American history. I think it was a little over a month, 35 days. and you know what it apparently cost the American economy? How much? $11 billion. Weird. So we could have just paid the $5 billion.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Built the wall, had some success from it, avoided all the drama, and we could have saved that money. What's better than that? When they say Trump was right about everything, here's another example. And, Pack, I just show one thing, not to go back,
Starting point is 00:46:43 but Stephanopoulos and all the media, I want to congratulate all of you because they just hit an all-time low. All-time low, trust. Tom, look at that. Public confidence in media as a record low. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:46:55 How did that happen? It went even lower than what it was before. How low can you go? And they're not shifting gears. Like these people are just on a runaway train and they just will not let up. What more is it going to take for you guys to stop this nonsense? Like lying to the American people
Starting point is 00:47:12 because people are still watching this crap. You know how they say. You're absolutely right. You know how they say that like elections have consequences? You know, right now the Democratic Party really just stands for booing Trump. Trump's going to win, he's going to lose, he's going to have some, he's going to have some gains, he's going to have some losses.
Starting point is 00:47:26 But the Democratic Party is just L, L, L, L, and all they're doing is booing Trump. But how low could it go? I think they're going to have to get, have a couple losses, meaning they lost the presidency. Kamala still thinks it's the closest election ever. Well, she's probably drinking. They need to lose the midterms, and they need to lose maybe 20, 28 to realize this is where we're at. Because if they still think they have a chance, they're not going to try to change.
Starting point is 00:47:48 But I'm saying the future looks very glim for, it's not good. The future looks brighter. Yeah, for us it does, but not for them. All right, let's go to the next story here. Let's go to the next story here. So, let's see which one this is. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Rip off Las Vegas faces another huge tourism slump thanks to government shutdown. As Americans avoid flying over fears of travel chaos and plane crashes. Give me a flip on book with that title. Well, let me read it to you. So what is this, Rob? Is this the clip about the article? Yes. Go for it.
Starting point is 00:48:21 It was another rough month for Las Vegas tourism. In May, nearly every major stat took a dip. Strip gaming revenue dropped 4% year over year with downtown down over 11%. And the Boulder Strip was off by 8.3%. Visitation fell by 6.5% both for the month and year to date. And hotel occupancy on the strip dropped by 3.2%. Even airport traffic and cars entering from California were down. Surprisingly, the average daily room.
Starting point is 00:48:51 rate also slipped below $200 for the first time in a while. So that is good news. The only bright spot convention attendance was up nearly 11% is the era of nonstop growth and sky high prices finally cooling off. The numbers say maybe. Yeah, I mean, it's so bad that you know how they have these waitress girls that walk around. They can't afford them no more. Most of them are not. Like, 62% are transgender is not. Really? No, no, I'm allegedly. Allegedly. People are saying. Well, Van Pagestan? So I just got back from Vegas yesterday. We went to Vegas, visited MGM,
Starting point is 00:49:27 except above all 2026 will be at the MGM. Sick. The amount of surprise we'll be making with that is going to be awesome. But we're there. We're walking around. We finished the meeting. We take off at 3.30, 4 o'clock in the morning yesterday. And we landed at a full day yesterday.
Starting point is 00:49:39 I finished at 10 o'clock last time with time at a very good dinner. We had last night. Cool stuff. Yeah, very good stuff. But while we're there, we're looking at MGM's new, what do you call it, the pool party they do outside, like, I don't know what it's called, but it's called the Palm Beach or something at the MGM. Nice, nice area with the pool parties.
Starting point is 00:49:59 We may be shutting down now, doing something with it. But I asked the guy, say, let me ask you, how is tourism right now in Vegas? We're walking around the tables. Nothing. Nobody's there. He said, tourism is down dramatically, okay? That's the guy I was actually talking to. Tourism is down dramatically, okay?
Starting point is 00:50:23 Tourism is down dramatically. He looked like that guy. Tourism is down dramatically. Events are up. So people doing conventions, Vegas is slowly taking over Orlando. It used to be Orlando for many years for convention town. But Vegas has becoming a convention capital of America today. Tom, would you agree with that at Vegas?
Starting point is 00:50:42 Is it now? Yeah, very much so. They've built a lot of stuff they're trying to attract the convention crowd back and a lot of things since COVID. But now all of a sudden, they don't have the other half of it. They don't have the tourism. Yeah. So to me, you know, when you hear stories like this with Vegas, you're talking to drivers.
Starting point is 00:51:00 You're talking to different people. You're talking to what people are saying. It is kind of happening. It's just not what it once was 25 years ago. We used to go to Vegas, Vinnie. Oh, man. If you think about it. I mean, it is.
Starting point is 00:51:12 So now what companies put Vegas out of business? Only fans. Okay. Online gambling. Yeah. Tinder. You know who else is who's putting Vegas out of business in a big way? Everybody who's a health podcaster that's got young men not drinking, not gambling, not smoking, not doing, like they're changing the habits of health.
Starting point is 00:51:38 So you're like, why am I going to go there, do that? The habits are changing. Chip Wilson and I did a podcast about 10 years ago. Chip Wilson is the founder of Lulu Lemon. And he said something to me. He says, Patrick, in 20 years. almost everybody in America will be in shape or will know whether they're in shape or not.
Starting point is 00:51:56 But you're going to see six packs are no longer going to be a big deal. I said, why is that? He says, because clothes are going to become smart. Clothes, you're going to wear clothes, and the clothes are going to tell you, stand up and walk for five minutes. Yeah, watches are doing it already. He's going to say, go drink some water.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Your body is this. He's going to say, we're going to have smart clothes, not smart watches, not smart clothes, things that you wear, right? So who knows what's going to happen to Vegas with the stuff that they're experiencing right now. I kind of wanted to share that because I was in Vegas yesterday. And I saw that article.
Starting point is 00:52:24 I said, probably a good idea for us to bring it up. I don't look like you want to say something about it. I was just going to do what are they going to do to fix it? Well, yeah, I was just going to say that. I mean, every company is going to have to,
Starting point is 00:52:32 or every attraction or every city is at that point going to have to reinvent themselves. So, you know, what's the value prop that Vegas brings to the table? Pat, you highlighted it. I was just going to kind of reiterate that gambling. Less people are gambling. And if you can do it, you can do it online. You can do sports gambling.
Starting point is 00:52:46 You don't need to go to Vegas. to do that drinking less people are drinking you talked about that sex you don't need to go all the way to Vegas you know what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas yeah what also happens on only fans can stay on only fans or on Tinder on Grindr, shout out to you Mike Johnson nightlife I mean less people are going out there parting as much these days people used to go get married in Vegas Britney Spears famously got married in Vegas who nobody's getting married these days who's crazy who does that so they need to reinvent themselves Vegas used to be known Sinatra Elvis.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Have you ever seen the movie Swingers when they're like, we're going to Vegas. Nobody's excited for Vegas anymore. PPD is actually single-handedly keeping Vegas afloat with his conferences, and that's exactly what they're doing. So what's the new value of Vegas is bringing to the table? Nothing. Really?
Starting point is 00:53:32 Actually, think about it. Like, what can they do the shift? You know, Oakland A's are about to go to Vegas. Did you know that? Tom, did you know that? Yes, the Oakland Azo play in Sacramento until the stadium is built in Vegas. Yeah, we drove by. they're building a stadium on the strip.
Starting point is 00:53:48 That's the stadium right there. Look at that. Oakland Athletics are relocating to Vegas. Go back, Rob. That's what they're thinking. Is that what it's going to look like? That's a sick looking stadium. Sick, but horrible timing right now.
Starting point is 00:53:58 It's going to hot as hell to go over there. Hot as hell to go over there. Nobody's there. Do you think Vegas can reinvent themselves and make a comeback, Pat? Do you think bookstores can reinvent themselves and make a comeback? Nope. No. Why?
Starting point is 00:54:10 Because audio books. Well, they can if they completely change their business model. Which is what? You know, if you, bookstores used to be a place to go buy books. Just like Starbucks was a place to go buy coffee. At this point, social gatherings and getting people together still is important, right? Why do we do the vault? Hey, you can go watch it online.
Starting point is 00:54:29 The mall. I go to the mall to get shit. Come on there. So people are still going to want to hang out, but what they're going to do when they're hanging out, I guess, varies. But bookstores, if you, you know, have reasons to come together, get together, group settings, what have you. Nobody goes to a bookstore to buy a book. That's what you buy Amazon or Audible or anything like that. That was the theory of, you know,
Starting point is 00:54:50 the theory that they had on the Oakland Raiders going to Las Vegas was that, you know, Adam and I, let's say, we live in Cleveland. And, you know, we have a couple friends. We love the Cleveland Browns. And it's December 10th. It's cold. It's between Thanksgiving and Christmas,
Starting point is 00:55:06 not much going on in Cleveland. But Cleveland will be at the Raiders in Las Vegas. We say, hey, man, let's grab a Southwest flights and let's go out to Las Vegas. and see the Browns play the Raiders this weekend. And they pull a lot of away team fans into Vegas for those games. But guess what? Those people do not spend as much as they thought they would be spending Pat in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:55:29 They go to average hotels. They come to see the Browns play. They go back. They're not dropping another $1,000, $2,000 on partying and gaming. They're not. So the whole thesis about the Raiders being a magnet for all the away team fans, Yeah, it's a small magnet. It's coming true, but not a big magnet.
Starting point is 00:55:47 No, it's what I said to the driver yesterday. I said, no, who goes to road game baseball games? Nobody goes to go road baseball games. Except if it's the big names, Cardinals, Red Sox, Yankees, Dodgers, who else you put on that list? No, no one's going to Marlins on the road. You're not doing that. So what was your point with the bookstore?
Starting point is 00:56:08 If you think bookstores are not making a comeback, Vegas is not going to make the same comeback, because technology put them out. Wow. Tinder, you know, a bumble, only fans. Every, you know how they say what happens to Vegas stays in Vegas? No, nowadays is what happens on only fans, what happens on Tinder, what happens on, you know, online casinos, it's there now.
Starting point is 00:56:32 It's there now that you have. So who knows? I have a lot of great memories in Vegas as a young man coming up and I was in Vegas quite often. At one point, I was going every other week. I would drive up Zizzix. If anybody knows that exit, right? Zizzii, Zizik. So if you know.
Starting point is 00:56:48 No, no, Zizik. Dirty. Dirty. You're a dirty man. I learned Armenia from. Dirty, dirty, dirty man. Here's what I, can I give a contradicting statement right now? I think, actually, my buddy, Michael Sartain talks about this in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:57:03 So cities start to expand. And then they reach the breaking point where it's like, all right, we have too many clubs. We have too many venues. We have too many nightlife things going. We have too many casinos. stop building and then they're going to they're going to contract and still the great casinos will still exist still the great clubs like excess events not going to work marquee and all this stuff that jason strous and these guys do will still exist but the newcomers
Starting point is 00:57:27 they will fall off it's like if you have 10 great bars in your city and that's the max and then you try to invent 12 15 20 all right those 10 are going to go out of business but the original 10 will stay let's let's go to let's go to another story here to see if we're going to be pulling this off or not. Will PBD podcast go to Dearborn for a podcast? Well, let's find that. Dearborn Islamic Center holds Memorial mourning a year after Hezbollah's chief, Nasra Allah, martyr. Okay? Let me read this because this is Adam's story. Okay, so here we go. A Dearborn Michigan Islamic Institute hosted a memorial marking one year since Hezbollah, Chief Hassan Nasrallah's death, praising U.S. designated terror leaders' bravery,
Starting point is 00:58:13 featuring tributes to Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and telling attendees the Iranian rulers are leader, held this past Friday at Hadi Youth Community Center, the event marked the one-year anniversary of the organizations. Organizers called Nasrallah's martyrdom and drew attendees, including parents with young children. Hezbollah is designated by the U.S. Foreign Terrorist Organization, Usama Abdul-Gani, described by the group as a Hadi Institute's spiritual leader and linked to The affiliate K5 Haddi Montessori School addressed the audience beside a framed portrait of Nasrallah during a live stream program. And here's what he had to say.
Starting point is 00:58:50 I welcome each and every one of you. This is occasion that many of us probably never thought we would live to see. We never imagined that our say it would be martyred in our lifetime and that one year would have passed since his martyrdom. Brothers sisters, we were blessed to be in the presence. of one of Allah's greatest Auliyah. Now, of course, we miss him. We miss his smile. We miss his love for humanity.
Starting point is 00:59:20 We miss how he would clarify what was going on on the ground for us, how he would tell us our responsibility. We miss his bravery. This camp, the camp of divine resistance, the camp of Hussein, is now led by our leader, Imam Khamanai. Hopefully, the martyrdom of the Sayyid was, what inspired us to be like the Sayyid. One lesson from the Sayyid.
Starting point is 00:59:49 One of the best points about the Sayyid, and he had so many, was his strength when it came to explaining the truth. Everyone loved him. Everyone. Pause it right there. And Sean. Adam, thoughts. So to be clear, this is a. Muslim cleric in Dearborn, Michigan, singing praises for Hassan Nasrallah, who was the leader of
Starting point is 01:00:19 Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorist mafia regime. Just to be clear, that's who he's talking about. Checking notes. Yep, you're right. Everybody loved him. He was our hero. He was our martyr. Love for humanity is my favorite part.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Any normal American, forget about where you stand on Israel. This is an enemy to the United States. What Hezbollah has done, starting with the Marine barracks in the 80s when they killed. How many Marines, Tom? 2069, I believe. Okay. To this day, you know, they say, show me your friend. Show me your future.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Who were his friends? Who were his friends? He's saying the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran. The IRGC, the Revolutionary Guard, right? The Quds Force. General Soleimani, these are his friends. Bashar al-Assad in Syria. That was his buddy.
Starting point is 01:01:10 the man who helped kill, what, almost a million Syrians? Don't say anything about that, because we can't talk about that. Hamas, Ishmael Haniyah, Yaya Sinwar. Do you know these names? Palestinian Islamic jihad. These are his friends. And now we have people in America saying, that's our guy. This is what we love.
Starting point is 01:01:33 This is our martyr. So much so that we're holding memorial and we, what, want to name a street after this guy? guys the downstream effect of what's going on here is in America you could say whatever you want to say believe what you want to believe but there's going to be a culture clash at one point you know we see what's happening in the UK now Tommy Robinson just a list of events in the last few weeks Tommy Robinson did what a million Brit March were to come out and just show love there was zero issues zero what is he talking about he's talking about Muslim extremism Pakistani rape gangs what's going on there the week after that, Kier Starrmer, the progressive leftist prime minister of the UK came out and recognized the state of Palestine. A week after that, it's Yom Kippur in London, the holiest day of the Jewish year, a Muslim terrorist named Jihad. That's his name. Comes out and kills two people, two Jews, trying to go to synagogue. So the downstream effects of, okay, were evangelizing martyrs and we're basically paying
Starting point is 01:02:40 homage to terrorists. Now the downstream, the woke left has teamed up with the Islamic right. It's called the red, green synergist. And now you have Keir Starmer recognizing Palestine and then two Jews get killed on their way to temple by a literal
Starting point is 01:02:56 jihadist. I mean, you could say that you can't make this stuff up, but this is the reality that we're living right now. This is Kier Starrmer when he recognized the state of Palestine. Go for it. In the face of the growing horror in the Middle East, we are acting to keep alive the possibility of peace and a two-state solution. That means a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable Palestinian state.
Starting point is 01:03:25 At the moment, we have neither. Ordinary people, Israeli and Palestinian, deserve to live in peace to try to rebuild their lives free from violence and suffering. That's what the British people desperate... Stop it right there. So this is what I want to go to with this. Next story is
Starting point is 01:03:48 Israel gives Palestinians last opportunity to flee Gaza City as full-scale invasions looms. So this whole thing about Qatar, this whole thing about the apology, this whole thing about the back and forth that took place, This could be the first time, Tom, that a Muslim country like Qatar is going to find a way to side with Israel to prevent Hamas may be left by themselves by a lot of people if they're not getting that support, right?
Starting point is 01:04:22 If that ends up taking place. Rob, what is that clip that you have there? This was just the announcement yesterday that Israel has given the people in Gaza their final warning to get out of the city. Go ahead, Rob. Israel's defense minister today said Gaza city was nearly fully encircled, the last chance for civilians to get out. On the coast road, those able to flee on foot, afford the cost of transport, of somewhere to sleep at the other end, were doing so as the city behind them continued to be pounded. Everything's being fired at us, everything's destroyed, there are explosions everywhere, there's nothing left for us. Another reason for this renewed scramble, Israel's warning that this road would soon be partially blocked.
Starting point is 01:05:10 The Israeli military said the checkpoint would be placed on the intersection of the Al-Rashid coastal road and what Israel calls the Netsarim Corridor. Civilians would still be allowed south with inspections, but travel north back towards Gaza City would be prohibited. But this afternoon, no checkpoint, instead reports of approaching tanks and gunfire from the air. A patch of land meters away repeatedly strafed. On one of the donkey carts, a teenager nursing what looks at first like an injured arm. But in reality is barely that. His left hand connected to his body by little more than bone.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Injured by shelling that killed a woman and two young children, as they too headed towards supposed safety. When we got to the Nezaheim crossing, we found out of the Nezharim crossing, we found out that there was bombing going on and tanks firing and quadcopters and people dead on the road. The war is a nasty thing. You can pause right there. So Tom, what do you think is going to happen here? Because the back and forth is the 20 point that we read yesterday or on Wednesday, right?
Starting point is 01:06:18 Is this, Rob, is this? So I have Trump and Netanyahu. This is from the press conference where they announced the peace deal. And here's what both of them said if Hamas doesn't agree to the ceasefire, which earlier this morning it was reported they're not. I think they're egging Hamas on, and they're trying to get others like a Qatar to agree with them for the first time. So that would be Qatar, Israel, and U.S. being on the same page where Hamas may be left stranded. I think they're cornering Hamas. Whether it works or not, who knows.
Starting point is 01:06:47 But go ahead, Rob. Play this clip. Amas rejects the deal, which is always possible. They're the only one left. Everyone else has accepted it. But I have a feeling that we're going to have a positive answer. But if not, as you know, Bibi, you'd have more full backing to do what you would have to do. Okay, for you to do what you have to do.
Starting point is 01:07:10 And then this is what Bibi said. But if Hamas rejects your plan, Mr. President, or if they... ...your plan. Supposedly accepted and then basically do everything to counter it. Then Israel will finish the job by itself. This can be done the easy way, or it can be done the hard way. Tom, what are you thinking? I think basically that there's a lot of discussions that are going on in the background of who gets what.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Because just like when they negotiated what was going to happen with Berlin, and now we look back over history, and we find all the side deals and everything that went with that, with the Russians, the British and the Americans negotiating on. Berlin, which ended there, it's a similar thing. Over the history of war, you come down to the end and you put it all together. And I think, I think right now, the rest of the world is in a spot where Hamas is being left where they are, and they have a choice. And you either do it this way or you take this deal. And I thought to myself, what are the odds that if I'm negotiating with somebody, two and three
Starting point is 01:08:27 point deals. And Pat, this happens in business. A two and three point deal, you can usually get through it as long as none of those points are crazy points. You can get people to it. But a 20 point deal seems to be a little more complicated. How do you get somebody like Hamas that doesn't have a working
Starting point is 01:08:43 government? I have an idea. Huh? I have an idea. I think I have an idea, but go ahead. I want to go ahead. But I think that and I'm going to use a word here, but is Hamas being either baited or dared not to do it. And then Israel is now going to get the green light from the U.S. and Qatar to basically do what
Starting point is 01:09:05 they've announced right there, which is make the final sweep through the city, everything gets cleaned out, and then we get to this area that will be managed by a consortium that's chaired by Trump. Vinnie. I mean, just, and you said it, war is, is hell. All those people, my heart is just like all those people that are leaving, those kids and the moms and all the, even the men. I notice how everybody always says women and children.
Starting point is 01:09:33 There's young boys too here, just like the guy you saw, where are they going? Like, where are they supposed to go? And it's like, I see them bombing and you guys saw what Gaza looks like at this point. As long as these hostages are there and Bibi made it clear, they're going to keep going. So my thing is like, just hurry up and get it. If you're going to do what you're going to do regardless, it's been dragged out for two years, just do it go down there and I said this on Wednesday people are going to die
Starting point is 01:09:59 the odds are these hostages because as long as this I don't believe Hamas Pat at all you're negotiating with terrorists like they're going to go yeah you know what Donald Trump said this they don't care those people are willing they want to die to martyr themselves they want to go to heaven and get their virgins and guess what killing Jewish people in their mind is a bonus
Starting point is 01:10:20 so it's like how long how long And I have no... Where are these people going to go, Pat? Like, they're walking to where? Just the south of Gaza to go where? Stand outside. Nobody's taking them in Gaza. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:10:33 I think this has been a two-year dragged-out thing. We know what you were going to do. Do it. Get it over with. And then you're mad because everybody's judging Israel. It's like, bro, hurry up. This was going to happen anyway. You were going to do it.
Starting point is 01:10:46 It was inevitable. But you don't want the optics. I think it had been done a completely different way than they're doing it. I just feel bad for those people. What do you think what Vinnie said? Well, I think Vinny is using common sense and he's using his eyes. And I understand Vinny's been sort of, you know, taking the side of he doesn't want to see people dead.
Starting point is 01:11:04 And I respect that. But at the same time, nobody wants to see people dead other than jihadists. But war is ugly and it's messy. And it's not fun. I know people fighting in the IDF. And none of them say, bro, my goal in life is to go kill Palestinians. They literally say, I'm protecting Israel. I'm trying to be here to get the hostages back, and I'm following orders.
Starting point is 01:11:25 But the linchpin here, you know, there's the United States, there's Israel, there's the Palestinians, we know that Iran, but the linchpin here on this specific thing is Qatar. Now, Qatar has a choice. You know, nobody's mentioned Qatar up until they got the World Cup and all of a sudden, they're like, who the hell is Qatar? They're one of the wealthiest, smallest countries in the world. They're an oil Gulf state. Now, Qatar has a choice to enter the world of working together, world peace, solving issues, or you can continue to do what you've been doing and funding terrorism. You can't have it both ways because the world is on to you.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Here's even Trump commenting on what Qatar does. The nation of Qatar, unfortunately, has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level. And in the wake of that conference, nations came together and spoke to me about confronting Qatar over its behavior. So we had a decision to make. Do we take the easy road or do we finally take a hard but necessary action? We have to stop the funding. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:44 So I don't know when that's from. Whenever it's from, that's the reality is Qatar has been funding terrorism. I would nothing love better, nothing more than Qatar to say, you know what? Let me go take a page out of what the UAA has done and normalized relationships. Let me see what Saudi is doing and position themselves as a place that you're actually a dealmaker and a peacemaker, not funding terrorism all over the world. Here's what I think is going on. Here's what I think is going on with the 20 point.
Starting point is 01:13:12 The 20 point is so difficult to accomplish, so difficult to agree upon, so difficult to accept that they know Hamas is not going to follow the 20 points. But this is their way of putting Hamas on blast to the world and, and in a very weird way, this is going to sound weird, in a very weird way. my opinion, folks, this is not based on anything else. I could be wrong. In a way, I think Trump is forcing Qatar to not side with Hamas where Qatar has to distance themselves from Hamas. And then at the same time,
Starting point is 01:14:03 that call that they say him and BB had, that was an intense call, I believe it happened. Where he's like, what the hell is wrong with your attack? in Qatar. You better apologize. So I think Trump used, Trump has so much like a power right now, the way he's been able to put everybody in their place, my opinion, that he sees decisions like, hey, Qatar, listen, we know your history. Relax. We know what you did to get the World Cup. Relax. We know what you funded over the years. Calm down. Israel. We all know what you want. I mean, we get it. We understand. Okay. But if you want me,
Starting point is 01:14:39 me to broker this deal, don't go out of your way and try to do something to Qatar when you know you need Qatar in this situation. So it's like, hey, Hamas, Qatar, you need Israel, Israel needs Qatar, pump the brakes, relax. Everybody needs to get rid of Hamas because if you're not for getting rid of Hamas, I'm not going to do deals with you, Qatar. And Qatar is probably behind closed doors asking for something. So my intuition is that in the next three months, there could be an announcement made of something that benefits Qatar. It's something that Qatar is asking. Do you know what I'm saying, Tom? Like, Qatar is asking for something. Like, if we help you out, what do we get? You want me to do this for you? You better get behind this and say, Hamas is done
Starting point is 01:15:26 and you don't support it. And Qatar is like, well, well, well, well, what, then don't. But you don't understand. No, no, but no, but no, you don't understand. You're asking me. I don't, I'm not asking You for nothing. So I think there's a bigger offer on the table that Qatar is going to choose over Hamas. And I think Qatar, whether they want to or not, I think they'll sacrifice Hamas to get the bigger deal that they want from the president. And I don't know what that deal is. I tend to agree with you. There's a couple things about Qatar we have to take a look at.
Starting point is 01:15:58 There is a massive investigation that went into the World Cup group. And there's a guy that ran the World Cup. and it was rumored that Qatar basically rigged the World Cup being awarded, and that whole thing was just stunk because it's supposed to bring common people together in countries that have a tradition of what international calls football. So that's France, that's Italy, that's Germany, that's Brazil, that's Argentina. PPD, those should be the countries to get a World Cup. And in the U.S., you know, the U.S. women have won three of six World Cups, looking back. It was there.
Starting point is 01:16:44 But Qatar was so corrupt in that. And then they've also been funding the terrorism. I believe that Trump is cornering Qatar. I agree with you into something. And now Qatar has to agree to it to get other things they need. I mean, I don't think it's any mistake. Oh, Mr. President, you like big planes? here. Here's one. And they give you the big plane. And yeah, I want every inch of that plane scrubbed, you know, for anything, right? And so I think Qatar is being called to account. And I agree with you. There's something big beneath the surface because the president is pulling the leash on them at the same time. He's trying to corner, I believe, the Hamas. Can I give you one different perspective, Pat?
Starting point is 01:17:33 Because I understand that Trump probably said, listen, Bibi, we got to get a deal with Qatar. So we need you to apologize because we do need them. And they do. But at the same hand, I actually think that Israel sort of forced Qatar's hand. Because if you look at what Israel did, I mean, listen, what Israel has done with the beepers in Lebanon, taking out what they've done with Gaza. Think about the capitals. They've, Beirut with Hezbollah, Syria, Bashar al-Assad, Tehran, what they've done. And then they went after Doha, the capital of Qatar, or the major city in Qatar.
Starting point is 01:18:09 Now, Qatar was now forced to do something about it. And I'm sure on one hand, Trump was like, listen, you know, we got a base in Qatar. We got to be friends with these guys. And they didn't hit the same middle of Norway. Exactly. They hit that residential area where the guy was staying. And now that war, that Qatar has been slowly funding, now that thing just hit home. And it's like, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 01:18:29 You know, we've been doing this in all these other cities. Now it's happening in our house. no no no no no no no so were they a fan of that obviously not were they upset with that of course but did that force Qatar to say all right guys we'll come to the table now because now you're doing stuff in our house is that the best approach for Israel to do I don't know but if this still gets done you could look at that moment when Israel attacked Qatar it's as a pivotal moment here if this gets done what a freaking beautiful way to corner Qatar what a beautiful way to corner Qatar honestly like And I'm talking purely from a strategic standpoint.
Starting point is 01:19:05 That's it. Yeah. I mean, what a way on the public scale to corner Qatar, okay? And get them to play ball. If it happens, who knows? Again, we're still going through this. What are the odds do you think this deal happens? That what?
Starting point is 01:19:22 That Thomas releases the hostages. They work out a deal. The 72-hour thing. I don't think that's what they're doing. I think the way you look at when you're making an offer like this, you have to look from the binary standpoint. What are the odds Hamas is going to do it? No, destroy them.
Starting point is 01:19:37 Hey, put it on Hamas. What is the odds that Hamas is going to be like, oh, shit, we better release them. Release them. Then what are you going to do? It's one of the two things that is going to happen. But either way, Hamas is screwed. Hamas is screwed because they got the funders.
Starting point is 01:19:52 They got the other side. They're like, ah, shit. Do we want to play ball and be cool? Do we want to be on the bigger scale of everything that's going on? I think they got, and by the way, you know, Israel's biggest challenge right now, whatever people want to call it, Israel's biggest challenge right now is around, what is that article that you want to respond to Adam? I want to go to that because it kind of goes with this.
Starting point is 01:20:15 The one that says how the world feels about Israelis. What is that? Israel? Yeah, where's that one right there? Okay, there it is. So check this out. New York Times poll, support for Israel drops almost entirely due to Democrats. This is Breitbart.
Starting point is 01:20:30 Rob, if you can pull this up. So, here we go. Americans where it's under the plummeting, but remains largely steady amongst Republicans. A new poll revealed Monday the drop is almost entirely to a precipitous decline in support for Israel amongst Democrats. The New York Times, Sydney and Siena poll
Starting point is 01:20:48 was reported under the headline. American support for Israel dramatically declined. However, the real news was buried paragraphs later. Much of the shift in views of Israel has been driven by a sharp decline in support by Democratic voters. Republicans largely support to continue Israel. Seven and ten Republicans say they support providing additional aid to Israel. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:21:11 A majority of Republicans say Israel should continue to military campaign until all hostages were released, even if it meant civilian casualties. 47% said that the Israeli military was taking enough precautions to prevent civilian deaths. Republicans still sympathize with Israel more than Palestinian. Palestinians 64% to 9%. Wow. But those numbers indicate a drop of support of 12 percentage points from 2023 when it was 76% siding with Israel. One of those reasons for the Democrats failing support for Israel is the increasing radicalization of the party. Okay, so let me get the straight. So Republicans dropped from 76 to 64 and 2 years, 12%. But what is it saying about Democrats?
Starting point is 01:21:57 It doesn't even show the numbers. I would love to find those numbers. Can you actually go to the article, Rob, and see if it drops the Democratic numbers? Go ahead, Adam. You wanted to talk about this. Well, yeah, I mean, the Democrat, is this the numbers right here?
Starting point is 01:22:13 Do you think isn't intentionally, what about approval ratings? Do you have that anywhere, Rob? It has to be in the article with New York Times. No charts. I can check, though. Okay. Well, I mean, this is what I've been saying all along.
Starting point is 01:22:29 The Democratic Party at this point is no friend to America. Israel, our allies, the Democratic Party stands for... Right there, right there, right there. Nearly two years ago, Democrats were divided evenly with 34% sympathizing with Israel, 31% sympathizing with Palestinians. Now, Rackenfow Democrats across the country overwhelmingly side with Palestinians, 54%. So it went from 34 to Israel to now only 13%. That's a 21% drop-off for Democrats.
Starting point is 01:23:04 And Palestinians went from 31% to 54%. So it's really 54 pro-Palestine, only 13% pro-Israel in the New York Times article. More than 8 in 10 Democrats said Israel should stop the war, even if the country had not achieved its goals, a notable increase from roughly 60% who said the same thing two years ago. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:23:25 Yeah, look, as Tom says, words talk, Vinnie screams. And that's what's going on here right now. The Democratic Party is no friend to America at this point. Yes. So forget about Israel. Let's isolate Israel. Let's talk about America. You know, the right of America,
Starting point is 01:23:43 I'm not talking about the extreme right, and I'm not talking about the extreme left. I'm saying the right of America, they have one thing that the Democratic Party is lacking. is just common sense guys when you think of someone wearing an American flag pin what party do you think of? Republicans or Democrats?
Starting point is 01:23:58 It's not even close. When you think of someone burning the American flag Democrat? Who do you think of? Democrat. Bingo. So, you know, Americans, say what you want to say about these, you know, white Christian nationalists. They love America, bro. And they love the Constitution. They love God. They love what our country was founded on. They understand
Starting point is 01:24:16 that we're not perfect, but they want to perfect and have progress in our land. The Democratic Party, they don't stand for the flag. They stand for every other flag out there, and I wish they didn't. They're doing the LGBTQ flag. You good here, Pat? I mean, I start the water even lower.
Starting point is 01:24:32 Pat, what did I tell you about interrupting me when I'm talking, Pat? Unbelievable. The Democratic Party. Adam's about to get smacked up. That's true. Pop out? Listen, we don't need a gaze for Gaza issue right now, Pat.
Starting point is 01:24:42 Let's just keep the cross-border situation. Let's be friends here. Finish your point, by. Okay. But the Democratic Party, They believe in every other flag other than the American flag, the LGBT flag, the trans flag, the BLM flag, the gays for Gaza flag. Flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, flag, yes, I threw that in there. But, you know, you look at the people who represent the Democratic Party at this point, the AOCs, the Rashida Talibes, the Ilhan Omar's, the Greta Thumburg doing her little sailing expedition out there.
Starting point is 01:25:13 This is where we're at. And it just goes to show, excuse me, sir, did I do something wrong? man you really you're good okay we're an interactive podcast we can move around you gotta you gotta roll with the punches here yeah anyway am I about to get slapped no this is well you gotta stay focused right now so okay let's go to next door no but make you got 20 I try to but I'm waiting you've been going for quite some time so let me land this plane to any Jew out there yeah who still thinks they're a Democrat like I was in the past who thinks that you know you're all about Tecun Olam and helping the war
Starting point is 01:25:47 you're helping the people that want to eliminate you. You're helping the what's the dude in New York? Mom Donnie, you're helping these people. You're helping the Greta Thumburgs of the world. And that's what's happening there. And it turns out that all the stories that we've been hearing about the right is done with Israel. The stats don't say that at all. Still the vast majority of Republicans and conservatives still support Israel. You know, I know that Charlie Kirk wrote that letter to Beebe. I don't know if you guys addressed this. And It was, I'm on your side. I'm here for you.
Starting point is 01:26:20 I'll always defend you. But here's some suggestions that I think you can do better. Now, there's some talking heads on the internet. I won't name names, but they sort of rhyme with Schmandishmohens. And they're talking and literally telling lies about this letter for Bibi Netanyahu or telling lies about the meeting that happened with Bill Ackman. So it turns out that Charlie was right. Tell me about the letter.
Starting point is 01:26:44 Because I don't know what people are saying about the letter. Okay, here's the actual letter. I haven't heard anything about, like, I've heard about it, but I didn't read any of it. It's pretty long. I'm not going to do it. I'll summarize it. Rob, can you put it on Chad, GPTN, say summarize what's in the letter? Thank you.
Starting point is 01:26:59 And I'll do my best. Dear Mr. Prime Minister, I'm your friend. I want the best for you. I'll always be by your side. At the same time, here's a few suggestions that I would recommend to win the hearts and minds of people to come on your side. Which is the right way to write a letter. Yes. You're losing the PR.
Starting point is 01:27:15 war because TikTok owned by China and the youth is following the lead of the Gays for Gaza Brigade and the Free Palestine Brigade and the TikTok owns our youth. Here's my suggestion to combat what we're seeing. I'm here for you. I want to be your friend. Allow me to help you. Here's my suggestions. It came as a friend. Here let me read it. Kirk from his letter. That's what's a deep love for Israel. Jews to press his alarm over rising anti-Israel anti-Semitic numbers. Okay, got it. His Quar arguments that Israel lose an information war, especially online, which he warns that will erode political and military support for U.S. He states that this negative message flows downstream from social media to campuses
Starting point is 01:27:54 to even conservative circles. Kirka recounts how during the campus speaking towards a large share of the questions he received or hostile towards Israel, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, subsidizing genocide. He notes that sometimes he feels like he ends up defending Israel more vehemently than the Israeli government itself on those fronts, criticism Israel's. He takes issues with Israel relying heavily on surrogates and non-Israel's to defend its narrative. He criticized the style of Israel's public diplomacy, press briefings, and spokespeople that seem outdated and passive standing at a dimly lit podium reminiscent of 1970s coverage. Interesting, very detailed.
Starting point is 01:28:33 He gives a seven-point proposal, built a rapid response media communications team, a key in a political campaign, Okay, create an Israel Truth Network, a central hub platform from debunking misinformation, aggressive pro-Israel content, and coordinating with influencers, educators, and social media voices. Okay, go a little bit higher, Rob. Sending release hostages on a U.S. speaking tour. Interesting. Promote Israel's everyday life stories, interview in ordinary Israelis, Jews, Arab, secular religious about what they love about Israel and responding to misinformation directly, framing the Israel narrative more like a political campaign, defining Israel's identity, proactive. responding to attacks, deploying surrogates, and building a first-person voice
Starting point is 01:29:14 for Israel in English, more clearly articulating the Iranian threat and Israel position to skeptical younger audience and targeting younger communicate, recruit more staff in their 20s, let me tell you, this is why I missed the guy. Are you freaking kidding me?
Starting point is 01:29:29 Like, this is why I loved Charlie Kirk. Like, this is how you need, this is diplomacy. You know, he's telling you, I'm talking to kids and they're not siding with you. But here's my suggestion to you. And he didn't do this publicly to get credit for it. He had to get killed for us to read this. What I take away from this has nothing to do with Israel, has nothing to do with kids.
Starting point is 01:29:53 It has to do with how special of a guy this guy was. It upsets the hell out of me that we lost this guy. The more I hear stories like this, this guy was truly a synergist get killed, man. It's unfortunate. Sinner just, you know, is a very tough job to have. when you're a synergist you know what you're trying to do you're in the middle telling both sides your shit stinks and guess who likes you both sides end up hating you because you're willing to stand up and say relax pump the brakes like i'm giving sincere feedback and you take a guy out like this that his influence
Starting point is 01:30:27 was growing exponentially anyways what were you going to were you going to make a point with this letter because we didn't address it or the whole concept of what we're talking about is charlie kirk it was people have used Charlie Kirk's death to gain eyeballs and followers and promote their own opinions and their own agenda and you know exactly who I'm talking about but the reality is this this letter of Charlie Kirk denouncing Israel
Starting point is 01:30:53 is anything but that. I want to say something on that. Let me say something on that. Sure. Let me say something on that. And I'm not one that is uncomfortable in any of these situations. This is what I'll tell you. If we follow Hanlon's razor, okay, you have to follow it for people you like and people you don't like. Hanlon's razor is never attribute a malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity or what? It encourages people to consider less malevent, more mundane explanations such as incompetence error or lack of information before assuming someone active with bad intentions. There's also quote in this by Napoleon, which I'll read.
Starting point is 01:31:33 A lot of time people quote, give credit to this quote to Napoleon. Here's what Napoleon once said. Napoleon once said, I want to read this to you, never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence. And Goet, if I'm saying it correctly, old guy that would write plays from 1774. In one of the plays he wrote, it said the following, misunderstanding and neglect create more confusion in the world than deceit and malice. Let me read it again.
Starting point is 01:32:00 misunderstanding and neglect create more confusion in the world than deceit and malice misunderstanding and neglect it's a misunderstanding it's a neglect more than deceit and malice a part of what you're saying right now
Starting point is 01:32:17 is to say that they're using this to make money I don't know I mean somebody could honestly say you guys have done 20 clips on Charlie Kirk and they could actually make the argument about that we have and our ad sense is on So what are people going to say, we're not doing this and we're not doing? You're running a business and you're talking about the story. And you're doing whatever questioning you may have on this. Where I will tell you with this on where I'm at today personally and I want to transition out of districts, I didn't mean to spend, I wasn't planning on going into reading this letter. I've not even read this. I just know there was a letter. I hadn't read the whole thing for the first time I read the seven points that he had is the following. I have no problem with anybody questioning.
Starting point is 01:33:00 on what happened here. No problem. Even if you get paid, I have no problem. What upsets me is federal employees whose job is you get paid to question who has access to the information,
Starting point is 01:33:16 why are you not? That's where I'm at. The problem I had at the beginning was jump into conclusion that Israel's behind it. That's Hanlon's razor. That's lack of, you know, you just want to find somebody
Starting point is 01:33:29 to blame because it validates your argument. don't need that. That's divisive. That's what gets even more. But what I kind of want to know is, you know, this guy was good for America, the country I live in with, raising four kids. Selfishly, I wanted Charlie to live to 95 years old because I got four kids. Selfishly, you need more brave men like this. We lost one of the most important guys in the future. Now, don't get me wrong, this is not like it's the end of the world. Let's sit there and we're not going to be able to figure out. Leaders step up. We're going to step up and do our part. I'm not sitting here worried about it. should you got us on our side we're going to figure this thing out collectively together but i don't
Starting point is 01:34:05 mind if somebody who gets paid to do a podcast ask some questions who federal employees don't want to ask and whether you like or don't like that individual ask away oh pat i'm with you but there's a big distinction here in my opinion we've talked about how many times when you have an opinion you say the following here's what i think this is my opinion i could be wrong but this is what i think I have no problem with anybody, literally anybody asking questions. There's a difference between a question, my opinion, and then facts, and then I have the receipts, trust me, trust me, bro, and you're literally lying. So we have to call out bullshit when we see it.
Starting point is 01:34:48 You know what I think it is. You know what I think it is. Here's what I think. I think you're make a very good point when somebody comes out and says what. I know exactly what happened, without showing the receipts. Very annoying. very annoying and you lose credibility with that you gaslight everybody and and and sometimes you know sometimes there is that what's the word in media where you have um uh journalistic integrity
Starting point is 01:35:12 no no it's not journalistic integrity where you are tempted to be the first to be like you got it breaking news because it brings so much eyeballs of course but dude if you were wrong man let me tell we're on a flight back i don't know if i'm i'm on a flight back yesterday and we're talking about somebody in business. And I always ask this question. I used to ask this question on PHB 20 years ago, 15 years. I used to say, who do you think is going to be the biggest player 10 years from now the company?

Starting point is 01:36:32 July 15th of 09. And this one girl gets up on stage who was at our Arizona office. She gets up on stage. She hands this gift to me. It was a TSP gift with pictures and everything in it and things written by her. She's on stage crying for five, ten minutes
Starting point is 01:36:50 on how much I've changed her life. And we're outside my office and Northridge, and we're walking. And I'm asking a question, who's going to be the player, on everybody's list, she was on the list. You know what she did a month later? Left, took business, talk trash, and we had the best relationship together.
Starting point is 01:37:15 I was good with her boyfriend at the time, her fiancé. We'd go to church. We introduced her to the church that we'd go to. Phenomenal. Like overnight, this happens, because another guy got in her ear and overnight. this happened. What's the point here? Dude, we have no idea what's going to happen with these stories
Starting point is 01:37:30 another 12, 24, 36 months. You have no idea who's going to be in business five, ten years from now. You have no idea what's going to happen in business. You hear a lot of different people. But in the interim today, I have no problem with anybody that's questioning anything. I will say, pump the brakes of jump into a conclusion that you know for a fact what happened. You lose credibility when you do that fair point there, but I have no problem with anybody that's questioning things today. All right, let me get to the next
Starting point is 01:37:52 story here. What story have we not gotten into that we'd like to get into Tom. Did you want to talk about... I know, but Tom's stories are touching my elbow at this point. Tom. Take a story, Tom. I want people to look at how many paper.
Starting point is 01:38:03 Like, Tom, what are you going? Pick a story, Tom. It's on my shoulder. Did you want to talk about bad bunny? What did you want to talk about? You know what? Let's talk about... I hate trees.
Starting point is 01:38:11 My question. Is there a story here with bad bunny or no? Do we have a bad bunny story? Okay, let's do it now, but that's Adam's story. Dali. Pah, pap, pap, papas. There's a former individual J.OJ. Custody.
Starting point is 01:38:25 changes. Tom, is there one you want me to go through here? Pick a story that's your name listed next to it. Let's go through this. Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia. Google is blocking searches for Trump and dementia. So Google appears to have blocked the AI searches results for the query. Does Trump show signs of dementia as well as other questions about his mental health, even though it shows AI results for similar searches for other, about other presidents. When making the search about President Trump, AI overreuse will display a message that says, as an AI overview is not available for
Starting point is 01:39:02 this shirts, go directly to AI mode and you'll be, you'll only receive a list of 10 web results instead of a summarized page of information. Similar searches about Trump are limited in the same way, various queries about dementia Alzheimer's and senility, senility, the senileility, being senile, being senile, being senile, displayed to no AI review. and only produce a list of links of AI mode. Tom, why do you have a problem with this? I'll tell you I have a problem with this, because we need the social media groups
Starting point is 01:39:33 to spend time protecting kids that are underage from being on, getting rid of fake accounts, and as community notes does, I think, are a reasonable job, but it could do even better on Twitter, pointing out when it's an AI video or it's a fabrication. And I think from that point, stay out of the way. If you're going to operate the social media network, then stay out of the way. The price of free speech is free speech.
Starting point is 01:40:02 And this pendulum will go back and forth. And I think Google is being disingenuous. And I'll tell you why. August of 2024, Judge Meda ruled that Google violated antitrust laws. The remedies came out in April 2025. The closing arguments were heard in May 2025. And now we're in the point of negotiating the settlement. And we all saw these headlines in September a month ago.
Starting point is 01:40:30 It says the decision came down and said, well, guess what? They're going to get to keep Chrome. They're not going to make you get rid of the browser. You're going to keep that. And right now, there's active negotiations with the judge and with Google regarding the Android app distribution settlement. that they date it back to 2023. And so what do I think is right now? The final implementation of remedies,
Starting point is 01:40:56 and I'm reading from a DOJ report, from the core federal antitrust laws will be pending the appeals process that Google is entitled to and was expected to take time likely extending into 2026. So what do I think is going on? I think that this is trying to, you know,
Starting point is 01:41:14 give a little kiss on the cheek to the Trump administration because Google is still in hot water. This is not done. The implementation and the penalty phase is still on the table. And I think what's going on is Google's doing that. So I have two problems with it. One, I think Google is trying to play nice with the administration
Starting point is 01:41:33 because they're in the middle of this very, very big deal that's been five years in the making, number one. But number two, I don't ever want the pendulum to come back the other way. And so my point is protect kids, get rid of duplicate. accounts, prevent retail fraud that happens when they impersonate stores, and sniff out the AI videos and things, and allow the community notes to rain. That's what you should do. And for the rest of it, stay out of the way. You think Trump actually got involved and told them, like, hey, have this type of attitude? Like, I don't want people searching next. I didn't read any that. In my
Starting point is 01:42:12 research, I didn't read any of that there was any threat. I know. He's just asking me. I'm just Do you think he's capable of asking a question like that? Probably. Okay. So then... Like, hey, guys, this whole... I'm 50-50. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:22 I'm 50-50. Can I think Tom... A part of it, a part of this to me is... A part of it to me is you have... Do one of two things. And I'm okay with either one of these two things. One. Either don't give favors to whoever's the president
Starting point is 01:42:41 or be protected. of both presidents. So what does that mean? If you want to minimize the amount of noise linked to health and all this other stuff, fine. And you're being fair to both. Fine. Don't like it because I'm a freedom speech, but fine. But at least you're being what?
Starting point is 01:43:04 Consistent with both. Yep. Or guess what? Nope. Like Tim Cook, nope. We're not giving you Mr. Obama, San Bernardino. We're not going to give you the stuff in the phone. We have to go find it from a different person.
Starting point is 01:43:15 We're not going to give it to you. To me, let me tell you, that's when I became a cook fan. Yeah, respect. Because you're like, if you're that family, you would be upset at cook. Of course. Imagine if that's you, you're like, dude, give me the freaking information. I want to know this terrorist. But at the same time, he's like, dude, I understand, but I'm running a company and I'm
Starting point is 01:43:31 protecting the privacy of all the other people that are members here. Yep. Which, by the way, Chad GBT right now, I don't know if I saw this story. I don't know if we rolled it. And I think I did. There was a story about Chad GBT that said nowadays, Chad GBT, is giving information to local authority when kids search on Chad GBT how to commit suicide. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:51 Did you see this story, Rob? If you can just, if you go to news, you type in Chad GBT and you type in suicide and go to news, it'll come up. Just go to news. Zoom, Ovalho launches a parental controls on Chad GPD after California team, so I go a little bit low, Rob. So, Reuters open hours rolling out of parental control, Chad, GBT on the web and mobile on Monday, following the lawsuit by parents of a teen who died by suicide after an artificial intelligence startups chat bot.
Starting point is 01:44:18 Are you kidding me? This is how you should do it. Coach them on methods of self-harm. The controls let parents and teenagers opt in for stronger safeguards by linking their accounts where one party sends an invitation by parental controls activate the U.S. regulators are increasingly scrutinized.
Starting point is 01:44:37 They are companies over the parental negative impact of chatbots in August. Reuters had reported how meta AI rules allowed floridy conversations with kids under new measures. Yeah, I mean, so, you know, this is the part where we're kids you've got to be careful with. That's a
Starting point is 01:44:52 Open AI has 700 million weekly active users for its ChadGBT product is building an age prediction system to help us predict where whether a user is under 18 so the chatbot can automatically apply teen parent. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:08 So the safeguards, this is super necessary. But to me with Google is make up your mind. If you can every four years be like, oh, President Biden, you're great. Oh, my God, President Trump, you're awesome. Oh, my God. President AOC, you are fantastic. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:45:27 Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that. And I hope to have a backbone to do it to both sides. Adam. Well, please help me with my problem over at the Department of Justice. Yeah. Look, this is why America is by far and away the most important country. in the world. We talk about America being the greatest country in the world, but sometimes we don't
Starting point is 01:45:46 talk about how important America is on the world stage. America is literally keeping the balance between freedom of speech and misinformation and disinformation and balancing that alive. You know, what's the whole point of freedom of speech? So you can say what you want to say. The price of free speech is free speech. Liberty, freedom. We understand that. I think it was the world economic form. They said that the biggest issues that we're going to come across in the next handful of years is misinformation and disinformation and these deep fakes. So helping, you know, curb those types of issues, public safety, you know, hurting people's feelings.
Starting point is 01:46:22 There is that balance, that content moderation being, being free speech. But if you extrapolate and go deeper, why America's so important, look at what the hell's going on in the UK these days. Are you seeing this? The UK is arresting people for mean tweets. Or looking at a, no, one kid got visited. For looking. I mean, there's multiple different examples of this.
Starting point is 01:46:45 But America, listen to my liberal friends out there, you might not like what Trump is doing domestically. But internationally, he's keeping this whole thing in the world afloat and together. Because the authoritarian regimes of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, there's no free speech there. There's nothing. There's communism. There's Marxism.
Starting point is 01:47:06 You know, London has basically been taken over by Islam. Respect to you guys out there, Kirstarmer. respect. But now you're starting to see the UK and Europe be anti-free speech. And, you know, you've been offending people. So you're going to go to jail now. That's what's going on in the UK. Tell me you've seen these stories. Oh, a thousand percent. What do you mean? This girl liked the post. Cops showed up to her house to talk to them, bro. They're cooked. You know why? They don't have the First Amendment. And guess what? The Second Amendment. You're not, you're not treating freaking citizens when they got freaking good. You're not coming up by house to try to arrest me
Starting point is 01:47:39 for liking a post, bro. If you don't, if you don't think, Starmor, come into the microphone and talking about, we're going to make it harder for people to stay. We're going to start doing, making some changes. If you don't think Tommy Robinson caused that, because all those people came out and there is nationalist pride and people asking for law and order and people, the citizens out on the street, if you don't think that took Starmor to the microphone, you're not paying attention. I'm sure he's doing it. Yeah, this is the clip, Robbie, if you want to play it.
Starting point is 01:48:04 But this is what makes it worse. I don't like the camera. You can have my body cam. I can exhibit that to me. I just don't like the camera, really. Okay, well, I'm doing this because this is my own house and I am telling you why I'm doing. So I just need to know why would she, she's basically viewed a post, which is not an arrestable offence. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 01:48:23 It happened in May and you're going to be fine. The only thing is we need to seize the phone at this current moment. Yeah. Seize the phone because the girl liked a post. We will escalate this further. But with a voluntary interview. So have you seized anyone else? Is she the only child you're picking on?
Starting point is 01:48:38 Have you spoken to anyone else? Oh my God. No, we'll come to the station now. Do you want to let her finish her sentence before? She does have to get further escalates, unfortunately. That's fine, we'll come to the station now. The phone is it seized right now. We're not able to basically get the phone.
Starting point is 01:48:54 We'd have to escalate the situation. Your daughter will get arrested. For what? You in the social media post? Oh my goodness. Thank God for the consultation. No, absolutely not. What should we do?
Starting point is 01:49:04 No. Present description of evidence. Oh my God. Lisa, I would like you to leave now. I'd like you to leave. I'd like you to leave. I have nothing more to say to you. A social media post.
Starting point is 01:49:20 I've got nothing more to say. I'd like you to leave. You've harassed this child. Enough. I'd like you to leave. Lisa, that's no worries. Like, this is like a comedy skit. Okay, by the way, have you seen, there's countless videos.
Starting point is 01:49:34 I don't know how that woman, they go to jail. Adam, you know why? they don't have the Second Amendment and they don't have the Constitution, bro. You're not treating citizens like that that are well-informed. They have freedom of speech and they have the Second Amendment. To hell with that. That's why it's the greatest place in the history of the world. They actually do, and then Muslim mayors are messing with laws.
Starting point is 01:49:51 Yeah. So can I give a recommendation? You know how they said that life imitates art? Hey, to my friends in the UK, if anyone's seeing this, you know, 100-plus years ago, you had this author, and his name was George Orwell. And he wrote this book called 1984. He also wrote another book called Animal Farm. I highly encourage you guys to read this book again
Starting point is 01:50:12 because this is the world we're living in. We're liking an Instagram post, I'm sorry, you hurt my feelings. So it's, it's jail time for you. It's no longer tea time. It's no longer tea and crumpets time. It's jail time. What do we need to see here?
Starting point is 01:50:28 More examples of this. London stand is coming, guys, ladies and gentlemen. And Kare Starmer, you're leading the charge, home boy. Yeah. Well, we'll see what's going to happen there. Obviously, the good news is that they're being exposed, and Tommy's got the brass to go out there and do it without any security. He's doing this without any security.
Starting point is 01:50:47 Well, he needs it. But he doesn't have the money to do the security. So, by the way, some of you guys support what Tommy Robinson is doing. Rob, guess what? Tommy Robinson is on Menect. If you're watching this and saying, I'd like to be able to support what the guy is doing, go Mnacht him. Show him some love.
Starting point is 01:51:02 Go to Mnick and give him his love. Rob, if you can find the link on. know what direction you're taking to go to the account. If you go to his link, let's just put it up there. For anybody that supports what he's doing, let's see if we have the QR code right there. That's the QR code. Good for you, Rob, the way you just got it.
Starting point is 01:51:22 That's his QR code. Go message him. Give him some love. I'm giving a kiss. I'm giving a kiss. It's what I'm doing. It's a Middle Eastern kiss. Makhlata.
Starting point is 01:51:30 All right, let's go to the next story. This is at the top of the list for Tom. And I won't see what Tom has to say about this. So Ray J makes shocking claim. Maybe it's just a phase you're going through. You'll get over it. I can't help you with that. The next appointment is in six months.

Starting point is 01:52:37 Jenner. Ray J is. Now, I don't know the connection with Ray J and Tom, but Rob, you want to play this clip? Is this like telling us what's going on or? Yes, this is Ray J announcing that he is working with the Fed's on a RICO case against the Kardashians. Okay, go for it. This federal
Starting point is 01:52:53 Rico, though, on KK and Chris. Ooh. The federal Rico I'm about to drop on Chris and Kim is probably crazy. I'm talking about, I'm on the news, Every day, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:08 Meaning, like, I'm going to say a lot of shit with it. Anybody know Kim and who are with Kim. They need to tell her now. The rain is coming. Anybody's friends with Kim need to tell her now. The fans is coming. It's nothing I can do about it. It's worse than Diddy.
Starting point is 01:53:27 It's worse than diddy. Y'all hear this thing, boy. It's worse than ditty. So then. and Kardashians respond and Tom I'm going to come to you. Chris Jenner sues Ray Jade, Kardashians and
Starting point is 01:53:41 Jenner sue Ray J. for defamation called for inflammatory Fed's Rico accusation. This is a New York Post story. He can't keep up with the Kardashians. Kim Kardashian and her mom, Chris Jenner, or soon, Ray J. for defamation after the single
Starting point is 01:53:57 claimed he was working with the federal government to build a recall case against a pair. Unable to accept the end of his fleeting relationship with Kardashian over 20 years ago, Rayja has repeatedly sought to attach himself to plaintiffs' names and exploit their prominence for personal gain. Ray J. for the first claim, the racketeering charges against Kardashian would be appropriate during the documentary, TMZ, present United States versus Sean Combs. Tom, what do you know about the story here?
Starting point is 01:54:23 Very little. I saw this original video, very, very fuzzy, but appeared that Ray J. Radha watches it a lot. Was pole vaulting over Chris Jenner, at least it looked like some sort of, yeah. You really watched a video? No, I did not. So what are your thoughts? What's going on here?
Starting point is 01:54:38 Well, Tom, you sure you don't want to go deeper on this? That's what she said. That's what Ray J said. Oh, wow. So Ray J is what? He's suing the Kim and, oh, Joe. No, no, no, he's not suing. Stop it, Rob.
Starting point is 01:54:55 Anyway, let me give me. Ray Jays not suing. Ray Jays said that there's a RICO case against them while he's drinking apparently allegedly. Let me reframe this. the Kardashians are suing Ray J because he's defaming them over some RICO accusation.
Starting point is 01:55:09 Let me tell you something, buddy. I'm going to defend Kim Kay on this one. And I haven't hung out with them in over a decade. And, you know, my buddy, Chris, married her. I was in the wedding, the whole deal. Ray J. has not been relevant in two decades. Not one. Not two.
Starting point is 01:55:25 Three. Ray J. has not been relevant. And what he's trying to do, and this is according to the accusation, attach himself. to the plaintiff's names, the Kardashians, to exploit their prominence for personal gain. And that's exactly what he's doing. Do you know who Brandy is?
Starting point is 01:55:42 That's Ray J's big sister. He's also, I think, a cousin of Snoop Dogg. He's the third most famous person in that family. He's clinging to the hopes that maybe someone will write an article about him, that maybe he'll be relevant again. His famous song was One Wish. I think, If I Had One Wish, It's actually a great song. His One Wish is to be relevant again.
Starting point is 01:56:02 I don't know what his net worth is, maybe it's $10 million. Who knows? I hit it first. Oh, he did have, he had a song called, I hit it first. Right, Rob? Bingo. When you're making songs about the fact that you had sex with Kim Kardashian, that is all you have to claim, this should tell you exactly who he is at this point. I don't even know about that song.
Starting point is 01:56:21 You never heard about it. I think the sex thing took place in 2003. It's 20 plus years ago that he was relevant. And this is exactly what he's trying to do at this point. I hit it first. He made a song called I hit it first. Tom loves this song. Yeah, Tom, we understand that.
Starting point is 01:56:38 He's playing it on the way here today. I'm with the Kardashians on this one. Ray J can't keep up with them. But here's my question, though, because I always take a step back and think, out of all things to come up with, by the other, he's on a live stream, appears that he's on a live stream, he's drinking out of the Red Cup. So I would assume somebody that he's drinking.
Starting point is 01:56:55 How do you just come up out of the blue that there is a RICO case that you're behind and that you're going to do X, Y, and Z? and then mind you he's on a podcast or whatever streaming talking crap that's defamation if you're saying yeah this is coming down on them and this is he's on a
Starting point is 01:57:12 I can't say stuff like that that goes back to what Adam said earlier you can say that if 100% you have a case is happening you say something like that here's the problem Vinnie this is what ends up happening
Starting point is 01:57:24 so this happens to women and this happens to celebrities you know when you no longer look like the way you did when you were 20 years old. And you're kind of like, oh my God, how do I get the attention I used to get? That's the whole concept of conservative guys were open to the idea of dating a liberal woman when they're younger, but not as they're older. And liberal women are not open to the idea of dating a conservative man when they're younger, but I open to it
Starting point is 01:57:52 when they're what? Older, okay? Because they know the old plan didn't work. Yeah, the old plan didn't work. So the point with this is when you are so relevant, like, imagine. Imagine when the first sex tape came out, how famous Ray J was. Ridiculous. He probably couldn't go anywhere, right? But everybody wanted to kind of, you know, hook up with them, talk to him. Oh, my God, what a video. You know, so then now nobody is, like, interested.
Starting point is 01:58:16 Yeah. So what's another way for me to have a hit and to be. Spark that old flame? But this is the wrong group to do because you know what Kardashians have? They got money? Good lawyers. Very good lawyers. Well, you know who the, ironically, the Ray J.
Starting point is 01:58:32 of politics is Monica Lewinsky. Now, leaving politics aside, Monica Lewinsky is known for one thing. We all know what it was. Ray J. is known for one thing. And when that's the only thing you got, you're going to keep going back to the well. You're going to keep going back to the well. And at some point, you're going to start learning words like defamation, slander, libel. And then you're going to end up learning words like lawsuit, jail time, pay up.
Starting point is 01:59:01 So that may be what happens with Ray J for trying to expose the Kardashians. I love what, you know, your analysis was good. Vinny, yours was good, but no one broke the story down better than that. Tom was freaking fan. Tom hit it first. Absolutely amazing. Oh, yeah, and from the back. So Taiwan rejects U.S. proposal of 50-50 chip production.
Starting point is 01:59:25 It says trade talks focused on tariffs. Okay, so let's see what this is. trade talks focused on tariffs. And then I'm going to go to the other story as well right afterwards. So here we go. Taiwan will not accept Washington's proposal locally manufactured half the chips that currently supplies to the U.S. The island's top trade negotiators says speaking to reporters,
Starting point is 01:59:46 Cheng Li Chuan, also the country's vice premier said on Wednesday that the proposal for 50-50 split and semi-conducted production was not even discussed as she returned from trade talks in the U.S. according to Taiwan's central news agency, Chang said the talks were focused on reducing levies on Taiwanese exports and Taiwan currently faces a reciprocal tariff rate of 20%. Washington has held discussions with Taipei about the 50-50 split in semi-conducted production
Starting point is 02:00:15 which would cut American reliance on Taiwan. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik said last Wednesday in an interview to News Nation that adding that currently 95% of U.S. demands was met via chips produce within Taiwan. my objective and this administration objective is to get chip manufacturing significantly on short. We need to make our own chips. Lutnik said the idea
Starting point is 02:00:36 that I pitched Taiwan was, let's get 50-50, we're producing half and we're you're producing half. Donald Trump also has spoken, take your name at the island's dominance and chip earlier this year accusing it of stealing the U.S. chip business. Interesting. Tom. It's very simple.
Starting point is 02:00:52 Taiwan says, I wanted you to protect, this is incredibly simple. Taiwan said, I wanted you to protect me from from China, but I don't want you to take the revenue by building some of the chips over at your house. Please, don't do that. And that was the deal that the Trump and Howard Lutna put in front of them. Hey, we're going to build chips in the U.S. It'll be 50-50. We'll move the tariff back, and then we'll diplomatically work with China. And they're like, no, I still want to make everything and I want you to protect me. That's what it came down to. I think Lutnik's being very smart here.
Starting point is 02:01:21 I think Lutnik is being smart, but I think Lutnik and them are also leveraging the fact that you need, you need their protection to Tom, you good? That Ray J thing really got him fired up. Tom, Tom is gone. Tom just walked down. Wait, was it Ty Juan or? He was like, and that's it and there's a chip.
Starting point is 02:01:40 We know Tom's trigger. It's semi-conductors. This is the last time we will cover the semiconductor story ever again. Go ahead, Adam. Tom's got a semi-own right now. Go ahead. Well, Tom is actually right. I wish he was here to receive this credit and accolade.
Starting point is 02:01:56 Taiwan can't have it both ways. It's kind of like Ukraine. It's like you want our money, you want our funding, you want our help, you want our hard power, soft power, the whole deal. But we're going to need a little bit of them minerals, Mr. Zelensky. What Taiwan is saying is like, yeah, we need your protection, but you're not getting any of our chips. Now Vinnie's leaving? Adam, what's your point? Shut up, Tom.
Starting point is 02:02:24 Go back to your seat. Okay. But the point is. Because Taiwan is going to have to come to the bargaining table and we can't have 95% of our chips manufactured in Taiwan. Did you know that number, Pat? 95%. That's a lot. That's a monopoly on our chips. It's kind of like when China was manufacturing all our goods.
Starting point is 02:02:43 Are we learned during COVID? Oh, my God. But the leverage is on the U.S. still. Because of protection? Because we're like the big mafia boss. Are you kidding me? What are you talking about? So how are they saying?
Starting point is 02:02:53 No, we're not going to give you a... They're going to get it. U.S. is going to get what they want. maybe a longer plan. But U.S. is going to get what they want. They don't have a lot of choices of what to do here. They need America, period. That's true.
Starting point is 02:03:06 They need America in a big way. But I want to get to the next story about tariffs, and then we'll wrap it up. This next story about tariffs is having to do with Hollywood. Trump threatens 100% tariffs on foreign-made movies. Okay? Foreign-made movies. Here's CNN talking about the story.
Starting point is 02:03:21 Go ahead, Rob. Taking on the film industry in a new way, In a social media post just moments ago, he wrote that he will be imposing a 100% tariff on, as he put it, any and all movies made outside of the U.S. He also said California's been hit hard by movie productions moving outside the United States. And this may sound familiar. He did start threatening this back in May. It seems that he's now moving towards it. And for years, filmmakers have been leaving Hollywood for destinations outside the U.S., including U.K. and Canada in order to lower costs.
Starting point is 02:03:51 Several big movies of recent were produced by U.S. studios shot outside. side of America, including Deadpool and Wolverine, Wicked, Gladiator 2. Think about it is the president did not say when or how the tariffs would happen. So stand by to standby on that. Stand by to stand by on that. President Donald Trump said on the true social post on my subpoena. Okay, good idea, bad idea, Tom, what's going on here? You look happier.
Starting point is 02:04:16 You look lighter. Good or a bad idea about what happened with tariffs on that movies. So I think this is a good idea because I think what Trump is saying, hey, multiple states are giving tax incentive. Georgia gives you some. Florida gives you them. Texas will give you them. Washington's got a lot of editing in Vancouver area. So Trump is like, hey, make the movies here in the U.S. Make them here in the U.S. There's all these places to make in the U.S. even if they're trying to get out of California because of the unions and things that are happening that you've seen, Vinny. You've personally seen it. Everything from comedy shows. I don't mean like on location comedy shows where
Starting point is 02:04:51 you're in New York at some classic comedy place. you're filming it there. Of course, I'm talking about just doing, you know, live, HBO comedy jam or doing it live, getting out. And what Trump is saying, look, American jobs, American manufacturing make movies in America just like washing machines. I think that is the angle, that is the real message here. Now then, here's where I feel weird about this. I love the fact that like the last Bond movie was shot on location. And you can see that it's, it's Croatian. It's not CGI and it's beautiful. There's places all over the place to go. And so I feel kind of weird. I'm kind of weird about that way. But I understand what he's
Starting point is 02:05:36 trying to do. They're kind of treating it, you know, like, hey, make your washing machines, make your appliances, make electronics here in America, American jobs. I get that part. But there's a part of the creative side. I think you got to give him grace. Yeah. I think Trump is just throwing this out there to make waves to kind of make a point. I don't know if Trump truly on his list of, you know, you talk about his top agenda, 20 things, if American movies is on this. I think it's the first time that he's implemented a proposed tariff on a service rather than a good. Everything is goods, goods, goods, goods, everything to manufacturing. This is a service now.
Starting point is 02:06:12 I don't know. I think that maybe he throws this out there, just like many other tariffs and many other countries, it's a negotiation tactic. Then you meet somewhere in the middle. I think it'd be great if all movies were made in America, you know, made in America. but that's not the reality of it. Like you gave the James Bond example. Like certain places we're going to need for the movie to have actual
Starting point is 02:06:31 like the proper scene, the proper vibe, you might need to go to New Zealand or you might need to go to Italy, whatever it is. Lord of the Rings was shot all in New Zealand. Exactly. So I think this is a threat that he'll eventually tamper down and meet in the middle. But if we know anything about Trump, he throws a grenade out there, see who reacts,
Starting point is 02:06:51 and then he kind of takes it from there. But I think they should, They should do something like at least a 50-50. Like if you're going to shoot five of them there, we want you to shoot five of them here. Like because the job market in Los Angeles for all the people that are working on movies and everything,
Starting point is 02:07:06 and everything, it is bad, bro. It is really, really, really bad. I'd love to know what Gavin Newsom thinks about something like this. Well, listen. Does he want to keep jobs in California? Gavin Newsom is becoming pro-oil because he wants to run for office. Gavin Newsom's got a bigger problem to deal with.
Starting point is 02:07:23 But when it comes on to creative, I am a little bit more, you got to create a creative goal, do where they want to produce the movie. And then encourage some states in America that want more movies to be shot there, give better benefits. By the way, some people may not want that. Some states are like, I don't want Hollywood to come to my state. No problem. You pick and choose what values you want to build on. But last story here with Newsom, Newsom is wanting to drive a stick chef.
Starting point is 02:07:53 again. What type? Newsom courts, big oil as gas prices threaten political ambitions. Uh-oh. The guy wants to run for office. How are you going to do it? If you keep hating on oil industry, how will he pull it off? Remember when Trump's like, don't forget what he said, factoring, you know, fracking. Remember what he has? With fracking, don't forget what he said. In one of the debates that took place, not him and Newsom, it was a different candidate. So last year, Newsom stood before Californians and declared that oil industry that polluted heart of this climate crisis. Big old, he said, was lying, manipulating, profiteering.
Starting point is 02:08:32 They're screwing you, he added, after signing a bill to bolster oversight. Months later, one of Newsom's top energy regulators was dispatch on a plane to America's petroleum heartland on a mission to placate the oil companies threatening to flee California. Newsom, a Democrat in the second term and final term, is making a remarkable shift in his approach. after leading a years-long crusade against fossil fuels, which may have ended up being more successful than the intended. California, often home to the country's highest gasoline prices, is now staring down a potential energy crisis as the industry pulls up stakes.
Starting point is 02:09:06 Chevron Corporation moved its headquartered out of the Golden State refineries are closing a key oil pipeline is hemorrhaging. Money and Republicans are warning that gasoline prices could end up at $8 a gallon in California. Newsom has disputed this estimate but says it's a top priority to bring down gasoline prices of Californians. The focus comes amid
Starting point is 02:09:28 a growing speculation that he is geared enough for a presidential run in 2020. Tom, your thoughts on the story. Well, first of all, first of all, to the Bloomberg writers, you smarmy little bastards. Oh, whoa. Look at this. Newsom's top energy regulator
Starting point is 02:09:43 was dispatched on a plane to America's Petroleum Heartland. They wrote it that way because they didn't want to say Texas. They didn't want to say that Newsom's advisors had to go to Texas and make peace with people that they had kicked in the balls. That's what they didn't want to say. Bloomberg didn't want to say, Dispatched on a plane to America's Petroleum Heartland. No, they can't just say, hey, they went to Houston, Texas to talk to Chevron, to talk to Exxon. Number one. Number two, I honestly believe that there's something wrong with Newsom that you,
Starting point is 02:10:19 you couldn't have seen this coming. You had refineries. It doesn't matter that Chevron moved the headquarters out. It was the Valero refineries and others that shut down because of a bunch of regulation, and they said they're not going to be there. And then I think what caught him out is the EV slowdown. If the EV slowdown doesn't happen, and he gets the 30% EV cars, then he doesn't need the gas.
Starting point is 02:10:46 But guess what? The EV slowdown happened. We're trying to get lithium. The president is trying to cut lithium deals, you know, investing in companies, which I disagree with, trying to make the lithium deal to make the lithium available, which I 100% support my president, more cowbell, please, and I see it. And so this is Newsome getting caught in the vice. You know, EVs slow down. Now he needs the oil. The refineries are gone.
Starting point is 02:11:10 You can't spin up a refinery in 10 minutes. So, hey, get the Red Cross here with a boat so we can give water and people to hear after the hurricane. No, you can't do that. You can't just build a refinery overnight. People like DeSantis, I built a bridge in about 48 hours to help people after a hurricane. That's leadership. But Newsom is completely caught out. And then Bloomberg can't even say Newsom sent his guys to Texas.
Starting point is 02:11:35 So I see two sides of this. This is the way liberals write. And this is why Words Talk Number Scream, and you've got to dive into the articles to see what's really written. But right now, Newsom is pinched. Oh, Adam. Well, let me tell you, this is the one way that Gavin Newsom will win the election that he's destined to be a part of in 2028. We talked about how, you know, Hollywood, the movies, you know, nobody has deeper connections to Hollywood than Gavin Newsom. But there was a movie that took place many years ago.
Starting point is 02:12:05 It was called Men in Black. And Will Smith would hold something up like this. And they said, look right here. Boom, flash. And it was a memory eraser. And that is the only way that Gavin Newsom will possibly. win a general election is that he wants to completely erase your memory of all the damage he's done in California. And if he can do that, if it look right here, boom, use his hand. I love
Starting point is 02:12:29 your personation with his hands. Look right here, a la Will Smith, erase your memory and be like, wow, what a great guy this guy is. He's well-spoken and he has great hair. I'll vote for him. That's the only way a guy like that's going to win. Because if you have any semblance of a memory and you don't have dementia, shout out to Joe Biden, there's no way you're going to take this guy seriously. So he's hoping that everybody forgets. I don't care what anybody says. Anybody says.
Starting point is 02:12:57 To me, I think whether you like the guy or don't like that, whether you're going to vote for him or not, Rob, if you can pull this up, this is probably one of the best interviews I've seen Newsom do.
